# Pradeep Kumar
Software architect teaching teams how to scale Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native systems.

## About

Pradeep Kumar builds distributed systems and trains engineering teams. Operating through Classpath Consulting, he helps organizations like AstraZeneca and DBS navigate the realities of modern Java, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure.

He cares about making production code actually work. Instead of letting teams fight default configurations, Pradeep uses live coding to demonstrate how to safely extend tools like Spring Boot. As an author and architect, he breaks down complex systems to help developers understand not just how frameworks run, but why.
