Prateek Nayak is a Principal System Engineer based in Melbourne with a decade of experience building cloud-native platforms, observability pipelines, and developer self-service tooling. He has led transformations at enterprises and startups—most recently at Commonwealth Bank after CTO and founding-training roles—specializing in Kubernetes and CNCF technologies across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Known for pragmatic engineering, he has built production-grade operators, automated cluster lifecycles, and centralized logging/observability solutions that shortened delivery cycles and reduced operational toil. A Google Cloud Certified Fellow with an RMIT Computer Science master’s, he pairs deep Linux, DevOps, and OOP/SOLID skills with an aptitude for teaching—co-organizing the Melbourne Kubernetes User Group and running technical training through eduk8s. Less obvious: he blends hands-on systems development with product-minded leadership, having shipped both low-level platform abstractions and customer-facing mobile/web services.
