About Dev Patel
General Secretary of the Gandhinagar University Student Council, Aug 2025 – Jun 2026. Now an operations and events coordinator in Dublin, Ohio.
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 from August 2025 to June 2026, I was the point of contact for 5,000 students — the person who signed off on budgets, negotiated with vendors, and sat on the grievance and anti-ragging committees. Before that, as Cultural Secretary, I ran Jazba, the university's annual cultural festival, and made sure a 100-person volunteer team actually delivered a 50-event festival on schedule. Alongside 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. I'm looking for an Operations Coordinator, Project Coordinator or Operations Associate role across the Columbus, Ohio area.
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.
What I do
The four things I'm actually hired for — operations and coordination, event production, customer experience, and campaign marketing — are set out on the homepage, with the toolkit I use for each.
The three programs those skills produced are written up as case studies under Selected work.
