Background

About Pradeep Unde

With over 25 years of experience across Mastercard, TCS Research, and leading global clients, I bring a rare blend of deep technical expertise, systems thinking, and a track record of research-led product innovation. I’ve architected and delivered enterprise-grade platforms in File Transfers, Identity & Access Management (IAM), infrastructure automation, and cloud-native systems—earning trust across regulators (RBI, PCI-DSS), customers, and internal stakeholders. My key contributions include Mastercard’s Next Gen File Transfer System (NGFT), compliant on-soil solutions for India and South Africa, TCS TURK—an award-winning automation framework delivered at TRDDC. My approach blends domain-driven design model-driven development (MDD), and pragmatic engineering practices to deliver secure, scalable, and sustainable outcomes. I thrive in cross-functional environments, mentoring engineers and partnering with stakeholders to drive transformation. Let’s connect if you’re building enterprise platforms that must work securely, at scale, and across geographies.

When I’m not architecting platforms, I enjoy reading about evolutionary computing, listening to YouTube videos on programming, NeoVim, and fun facts about distributed systems software development. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science (4.0 GPA) from Southern Illinois University and a Mechanical Engineering degree from COEP Pune.
