About

I’m Pratik Borkar, a Technical Architecture specializing in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Kubernetes. I have extensive experience designing, automating, and optimizing cloud environments using Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration tools. I enjoy sharing hands-on guides and real-world implementations that help engineers simplify cloud operations, improve scalability, and adopt Infrastructure as Code best practices. When I’m not automating infrastructure, I explore new DevOps tools, contribute to open-source projects, and write about cloud-native technologies.
