About · Meet Patel
A cloud-certified web developer and data analyst who started coding in 2018 and hasn't stopped. From freelance client sites in India to a capstone ML project on 500,000+ federal loan records at NBCC in Saint John, every step has sharpened the same thing: software that solves a real problem.
The Story
From a computer-engineering diploma in Ahmedabad to machine learning on half a million records at NBCC, the through-line never changed: real problems, working solutions, clean code.
I started coding at 16 during a Computer Engineering diploma at Gujarat Technological University. What began as coursework turned into a freelance practice, building websites for clients while still in school. By the time I graduated in 2020, I had real projects behind me and a clear sense of what I wanted to build.
The next chapter took me through Chicago (East-West University, Computer Science), Toronto (Tamwood Careers College, a 480-hour web development co-op), and finally Saint John, New Brunswick, where I'm completing a Post-Graduate Diploma in IT Business and Advanced Analytics at NBCC.
Along the way I've built full-stack platforms for Ontario clients at Technomax Solutions, run SEO-optimized freelance builds for seven years, and tackled analytics projects on datasets from 500,000-record federal loan archives to telecom churn data across four Indian networks.

Fluent across the modern AI stack: large language models, agents, transcription, embeddings, and the data pipelines that feed them. That fluency runs deep, not wide. It's choosing the right model for the task, controlling cost and latency, grounding outputs in real data, and knowing when a classical approach beats a language model.
I don't pick a stack and look for problems to fit it. I understand what the system needs to do, then choose the right tools. That's why the SBA project uses Scikit-Learn, not a trendy LLM wrapper.
From data acquisition to final report, from wireframe to deployment. I don't hand off the hard parts. Seven years of freelance work trained me to own every layer of a project.
A system a new teammate can read in an afternoon is worth more than one that impresses no one except the person who wrote it. Readability is a feature.
Having studied and worked across India, the USA, and Canada, I know good systems have to work for people with different contexts, tools, and expectations.
