Pranav Murali's Portfolio

About Me

I’m a passionate Computer Science graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology with a strong background in software development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps automation. With hands-on experience at companies like Adobe and Riversand Technologies, I’ve built scalable backend systems, automated cloud deployments, and developed innovative solutions using technologies like Python, Java, Docker, AWS, and Kubernetes. I’m especially drawn to blending emerging technologies with real-world impact—whether it's through accessible authentication systems using machine learning or optimizing cloud environments for academic use. Outside of tech, I thrive on teamwork, creativity, and leadership—qualities I’ve honed as a soccer team captain, an esports champion, and an active volunteer in student communities. I’m always eager to learn, build, and collaborate on projects that make a meaningful difference.
