Pratik Dhanave
Agentic AI Architect
Background
I architect, build, and run cloud-native distributed systems end-to-end — from system design and cross-team coordination through production operations. 7+ years of hands-on experience in Go, Python, and TypeScript. My current focus is multi-agent AI: designing and operating frameworks where multiple AI agents collaborate safely under governance constraints in regulated industries.
I own the full lifecycle from database internals (PostgreSQL row-level security, BigQuery cost optimization) to cloud infrastructure (GKE, Cloud Run, Kubernetes operators) to application architecture (Microsoft Agent Framework pattern, agent orchestration, tool-calling pipelines) to production reliability and client delivery. Go-specific patterns I rely on include embed.FS for single-binary deploys and iter.Seq composable iterators.
My work has spanned five countries as a client-facing tech lead across some of the most demanding production environments in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. I led the BigQuery FinOps engagement for Tata Group (India), architecting the solution and delivering 57% cost reduction. I designed and built event-driven systems handling 30K+ TPS for Globe Telecom (Philippines) and architected the real-time voting platform for the AFL Brownlow Medal (Australia), processing 100K+ votes. In the Middle East, I designed PCI-DSS and regulatory-compliant open banking infrastructure for Bancnet (UAE/Saudi Arabia), owning the client relationship end-to-end. I've also led cross-team collaboration with international open-source teams at AT&T, Ericsson, and Microsoft on cloud-native projects.
I've authored 105+ technical articles on multi-agent AI, cloud architecture, and production systems, and have mentored 40+ engineers over 10 years through Google Summer of Code across 3 international organizations.
