About Dev Patel

I'm a final-year Computer Science student who spent his degree learning how to run things rather than how to build them.

As General Secretary of the Gandhinagar University Student Council through August 2026, I was the point of contact for 5,000 students — the person who signed off on budgets, negotiated with vendors, sat on the grievance and anti-ragging committees, and made sure a 100-person volunteer team actually delivered a 50-event festival on schedule. I took over as General Secretary from Kuldeep Soni in August 2025. Before that, as Cultural Secretary, I ran Jazba, the university's annual cultural festival. And before that I pulled shots at Starbucks and learned what a 4.8/5 satisfaction score costs you on a Saturday morning rush. (Online I go by Flickshot.)

Now I'm in Dublin, Ohio, working the Pro desk at The Home Depot — quotes, bulk orders, and contractors who need an answer in ninety seconds.

On the technical side, I'll be straight with you: I'm not a software engineer. I'm an operator who builds. This site, my tracking sheets, and my campaign tooling are put together with AI-assisted and no-code tools, and I'd rather ship something imperfect this week than wait a quarter for someone else to build it. That's the skill I'm claiming — not writing production code.

You'll find me as devpatel170521 across most platforms, and this site lives at devpatel1705.dev.
