AWS Certified Cloud Native Performance Focused

I'm Zeel Patel — a full-stack software engineer with a Master's in Computer Software Engineering from Northeastern University and an AWS Solutions Architect certification. I specialize in building high-performance, scalable applications using Java, Python, and cloud-native architectures.

As a founding engineer at Ticker, I built the backend from scratch — microservices, event-driven architecture, real-time APIs with sub-200ms latency serving 1,000+ concurrent users. I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that bridges the gap between technology and business needs.
