Twelve years designing and migrating infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP for mid-size and enterprise clients. Elena focuses on teaching the architecture decisions that matter once a system is handling real production traffic, not just passing a lab exercise.

RP

Raj Patel

Cloud & DevOps Mentor
10+ Years, DevOps Lead

Ten years building CI/CD pipelines and container platforms for fast-moving product teams. Raj brings students through the same automation and deployment workflows he runs day to day, rather than a simplified classroom version of them.
