Hi, I am Kaushal Patel—a full-stack and AI engineer with 9+ years building production systems using Python, Java, and AWS. I design and ship AI-powered features end-to-end, including LLM-based chatbots, autonomous agents, and intelligent automation tools that connect data across multiple domains and reduce manual effort for business teams. I am focused on secure backend architecture, REST APIs, data modeling, CI/CD, and cloud observability, always applying responsible AI practices in production. I am driven to apply production-grade AI to real-world impact, such as improving mental health outcomes for young people. I work well in agile, cross-functional squads and enjoy mentoring teammates, documenting decisions clearly, and collaborating with US/UK teams to optimize cloud architectures and cut costs.
