Hey, I'm Vivek.

Building software that scales. With 4 years of software engineering experience, my work spans education platforms and the microservices behind them, developer tooling from cloud IDEs to VS Code extensions, and real-time products from video conferencing to content management software.Currently at HubSpot, I build plugin infrastructure for the AI content editor.

It is a pleasure to recommend Vivek, he made a meaningful impact in the early stages of Genmark AI, contributing across both the frontend and backend with dedication and versatility. He consistently stepped in wherever needed - from building features to resolving bugs and supporting teammates - always with a thoughtful, collaborative approach. He brought a steady, reliable presence to the team and delivered high-quality work with velocity, even while balancing other commitments. His initiative, focus, and all-around support played a real role in shaping the early Social Media Management product. It was great working with him. I'm grateful for everything he brought to the team - any team would be lucky to have him.

I am writing to recommend Vivek for any computer science-related position he may be applying for. I had the pleasure of working with Vivek on multiple projects during our Btech program, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional team player and an asset to any team. Vivek possesses a strong understanding of computer science concepts and has a natural inclination towards problem-solving. His technical skills in programming languages such as Java, Python, and C++ are impressive, and he has shown a willingness to learn new technologies to keep up with the latest trends in the industry. Working with Vivek on our projects, I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to work under pressure. He has an excellent work ethic and always went the extra mile to ensure that the project was completed to the best of our abilities. I have no doubt that Vivek will be an excellent addition to any team he joins. I strongly recommend him for any computer science-related position and believe that he has the potential to excel in any role he takes on.

Debugging is basically a conversation with your past self. Past self is not responding right now.

The most exciting aspect of this is that as things progress at the center of the AI layer (better models, lower cost, lower latencies), it’s going to unlock a lot of creative people to build awesome stuff at the application layer. Think about the current state of applications on top of these models, they are probably only using 10% of their full potential. Exciting times ahead!

Vivek Patel

Software Engineer

Last week I completed the most fun and memorable internship at HackerRank! I started as an SWE intern in January, and during the 6 months, I've learned a lot by working on HackerRank's web-IDE team (Editors) where I met the most brilliant and amazing engineers including my mentor Ameer Jhan (who is also super "ameer" in real life), and my co-intern, the legendary Harsh Bardhan Mishra. The internship was fun-packed and I would like to thank Vaasavi Suncol (she/her), Harishankaran K, Rajesh Tiwary, and Ameer Jhan for giving me the chance to be a part of this team. I can not believe that 6 months passed by so fast and that I'll be in the U.S. by end of this month to attend Arizona State University for my Master's. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey! #internship #hackerrank
