Cloud & AI Architect · ex-AWS

Hi, I’m Pallavi.
I build. I learn.
I share.

I build cloud and AI platforms at NatWest. Through AI with Pallavi, I share practical lessons for people who want to understand technology — and build with it.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Engineer by practice.
Curious by nature.

My story

THINKING OUT LOUD

A curious mind.
An open notebook.

From my notebook: cloud, AI,
and the judgment behind good engineering.

A THOUGHT TO CARRY FORWARD

“The code was never the hard part.
The judgment was.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Engineer by practice.
Learner by instinct.

I’m a Principal Engineer at NatWest, working on cloud and AI-enabled platforms. Before that, I worked at AWS, where production support shaped how I approach architecture: understand the failure, find the root cause, and make the solution clear. Today, I share what I learn through AI with Pallavi — connecting engineering practice, AI education, and career growth.
