Testimonials
I had a very valuable and insightful session with Pallavi through Topmate. She was extremely supportive, approachable, and patient in understanding my career goals and current situation. What I appreciated most was the practical and structured guidance she provided for transitioning from my Java/Spring Boot background into AI and Generative AI. She gave me a clear learning roadmap, including Python, FastAPI, Generative AI SDKs, LangChain, LangGraph, AWS Bedrock, agentic AI, RAG, system design, and AWS certifications. Rather than just suggesting random courses or technologies, she helped me understand **what to learn first, what to prioritize, and how to build practical projects along the way**. This clarity was extremely valuable for me. I am genuinely thankful to Pallavi for taking the time to guide me and for sharing her experience and resources. Her guidance has given me much more confidence and a clear direction for my AI journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for practical and honest guidance on AI, cloud, and career transition. Thank you so much, Pallavi!
Pallavi delivered an outstanding session that provided a clear and progressive path to becoming a cloud professional. Her deep expertise in Cloud and AI, combined with practical guidance on certifications, projects, and career development, made the session incredibly valuable. The content was insightful, well-structured, and highly relevant to industry needs. It was a truly fruitful learning experience, and I highly recommend Pallavi as a mentor and trainer for anyone aspiring to excel in Cloud and AI.

About me
I am a Principal Engineer and Cloud/AI Architect with 9+ years of experience building AI and cloud systems at scale. Currently at NatWest, previously at AWS.
I have designed and shipped GenAI and ML architectures in regulated enterprise environments where "move fast and break things" is not an option. I know what works in production and what falls apart at scale.
I also build in public. I am the co-founder of Alytens (alytens.com), an IT certification intelligence platform, and the creator of @aiwithpallavi where I share enterprise AI and cloud architecture insights for senior tech professionals.
What I can help you with:
- GenAI architecture design and review for enterprise teams
- Cloud cost optimization strategy (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Career strategy for senior engineers targeting architect and leadership roles
- AI certification roadmap and preparation guidance
- Building a personal brand as a senior tech professional
I speak at conferences (IWD 2026), hold 4 Anthropic AI certifications, and have created multiple original frameworks for AI evaluation and implementation.
