Hi, I'm Deepak! 👋

I architect cloud
systems & AI agents
end to end.

14+ years designing scalable cloud platforms, enterprise migrations, MCP servers, RAG pipelines and AI agents — then shipping the products that ride on top of them. AWS, Azure, GCP, NodeJS, TypeScript & Rust.

◐ COMING SOON

My own self-hosted data-transformation API. Feed it one format, get another back — PDF→Markdown, CSV→XML, Excel→CSV, EDI→flat file — all behind a clean, API-key-driven interface. Getting ready to host.

About me
Deepak Rao Gaikwad
that's me! 😄

I'm a Cloud Architect and Principal Engineer with 14+ years of experience in architecture design, cost optimization, cloud migration, and technology-stack refinement.

My recent work spans AWS, Azure and GCP, with hands-on delivery across serverless systems, microservices, Azure-to-AWS migrations, MCP servers, RAG pipelines, AI Agents, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

I like owning the full path from architecture to release — secure designs, clear APIs, production automation, and product experiences that are fast enough to feel invisible.
