BUILD LOG / 2026

01 / THE BUILDER

Curiosity,
with a circuit.

A student of systems, from the code running on a screen to the sensors sensing the room around it.

Portrait of Bharat PatelBHARAT PATEL / MUMBAI

I like working where a rough idea can be tested against the real world.

I'm a third-year Electronics and Computer Engineering student at Thakur Shyamnarayan Engineering College. My interests span AI, full-stack development, computer vision, embedded systems and IoT. Hackathons have become a place to learn quickly, collaborate closely and turn concepts into working prototypes.

“Learn by Building. Compete by Innovating. Grow by Solving Problems.”
