About Me

Cloud Architect with a strong DevOps foundation, focused on building scalable infrastructure, automating operations, and delivering reliable production-ready solutions.

I'm Pratik Prakash Pandit — a Cloud Architect based in Noida, India, currently at Crayon Software Experts. I design and deliver cloud solutions for enterprises across Azure, AWS, and GCP — from architecture to deployment.

My work spans cloud migrations, AKS deployments, CI/CD automation, disaster recovery, cost optimization, and AI-powered document processing. I've helped clients achieve 25% cost reductions through smart infrastructure right-sizing.

I believe reliable infrastructure should work seamlessly. I ensure proper documentation, prepare SOWs and architecture designs, and build solutions that are easy to manage and maintain.

Intelligent Flight Ticket Processing Pipeline
Built an end-to-end AI-powered document processing pipeline for a US-based client. Used Azure AI Document Intelligence — Custom Classification model to segregate PDF and DOCX tickets into International vs Domestic categories, and a Custom Extraction model to pull travel dates, passenger names, booking references, and routes. Data flows into a relational database and surfaces via Power BI Gateway dashboard for real-time travel spend analytics.

Global Flavors Bistro RAG System
Designed and deployed a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for a multi-location restaurant group to query unstructured documents — menus, policies, rent, ratings, and locations. Combines document indexing, vector embeddings for semantic search, and GPT-4.1 for natural language answers. Automated indexer scheduling keeps new documents instantly searchable. Delivered 70%+ reduction in retrieval time and actionable rent-to-rating insights across cities.
