Identity & Background

About Vraj Patel

I am Vraj Patel, a 4th year Computer Science and Engineering student at Nirma University. I focus on building functional business products—like custom ERP pipelines and quantitative visualizers—rather than toy projects. I enjoy bridging the gap between database designs and slick, interactive client interfaces.

My Engineering Principles

  • Solve Real Problems First: Toy code belongs in notebooks. I prefer building fully-functioning tools that handle billing, material supply chains, or options implied volatilities.
  • Optimize Bottlenecks: If a page load or response takes more than 500ms, it needs optimization. I prioritize performance using database indexes, client-side caching, and asynchronous backend pipelines.
  • Strict Validation Rules: A system is only as good as its data model. I rely on strict Zod models, PostgreSQL checks, and TypeScript types to ensure stability in production.
