About Meet Patel
7 Years of Building.
Three Countries.
One Clear Focus.
I'm 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+ U.S. federal loan records at NBCC in Saint John, every step has sharpened the same thing: building digital systems that actually work.
From a Diploma in Ahmedabad
to ML at NBCC in Saint John.
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. The through-line is the same: real problems, working solutions, clean code.

The Principles Behind Every Build.
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 that a new team member 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 understand that good systems have to work for people with different contexts, tools, and expectations.
