Hey! I'm Shaan Patel — a Computer Science and Mathematics student at Northeastern University, with a minor in Business Administration. I'm passionate about building software that makes a difference — especially at the intersection of AI, backend systems, and great user experiences.

I've worked at companies like Wayfair and contributed to Northeastern's CubeSat projects, while also helping 180+ students as a TA. My side projects include TrekAI — an AI-powered travel journaling app, and Husk Sheets — a collaborative spreadsheet engine.

I enjoy architecting scalable backend systems, building thoughtful interfaces, and exploring how technology can solve everyday problems. Outside of code, I love exploring cities, learning about business and design, and occasionally sketching new ideas.

As a Software Engineer Co-op at Wayfair, I worked on core retail systems that improved how inventory workflows were managed and scaled. My work spanned backend services, API design, and internal tooling that supported day-to-day store operations.

The experience strengthened how I think about building reliable systems in large codebases, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and shipping practical solutions that balance technical quality with business impact.
