👋 Hi, I’m Mahesh Patil

🚀 AI Native engineering, empowering teams to build secure, resilient, AI‑native products in regulated environments.

I help business and technology leaders go from product vision to operating at scale – simplifying compliance, accelerating delivery, and optimising cloud costs.

I’m also a published author of Zero Trust Security Engineering (BPB, 2026), a practical, engineering‑focused guide to building secure systems using the Zero Trust model.


🧠 What I Do

  • AI‑native & cloud architectures on AWS, Azure and GCP for banking, insurance, healthcare and fintech
  • Security by design using Zero Trust principles, DevSecOps and secure‑by‑default patterns
  • End‑to‑end delivery from idea to production with event‑driven, microservices and data platforms
  • Engineering leadership: building and mentoring cross‑functional teams (from 6 to 100+)

🛡 Zero Trust Security Engineering (Book)

Zero Trust Security Engineering covers the full Zero Trust lifecycle and its six core pillars:

  • Secure your code, build and deploy (shift‑left security and supply chain protection)
  • Secure identities, network and data (segmentation, IAM, encryption in transit and at rest)
  • Manage vulnerabilities and enable continuous monitoring (SCA/OSS, SIEM, incident response)
  • Apply Zero Trust to containers and AI/ML systems
  • Deal with complexity, policies, frameworks and compliance in real organisations

It’s written for developers, data engineers, infrastructure engineers, product leaders and senior executives who want a practical roadmap to implement Zero Trust in modern, cloud‑native environments.
