About
About Om Patel.
I work where product logic meets data. I build across the application, connecting interfaces, APIs, and the systems that move data between them.
Who I am
At Codage Habitation, I worked through product rules, validation, and delivery with a four-person team. At Reality-Craft, I built reusable React components and API integrations. Both roles connected the interface people use with the logic behind it.
My projects connect that product experience with data and systems: owning Legal One's backend, integrating biomedical datasets for a ranking pipeline, and comparing Spark with Hadoop on cloud clusters. I like understanding the interface people use and the engineering underneath it.
I'm based in Chicago and pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Illinois Tech, with a 3.5 GPA and expected graduation in May 2027. I'm interested in software engineering opportunities across the United States, working across full-stack products, backend services, and data.
Engineering capabilities
The tools change with the problem. These are four kinds of engineering work I've put into practice across internships and projects.
Full Stack & APIs
From reusable React components at Reality-Craft to configuration services at Codage Habitation, I connect interfaces with the logic behind them. For Legal One, I owned the data model, GraphQL API, and messaging, then collaborated on frontend integration.
Data & Applied ML
I integrated 1.2M+ biomedical pairs into a 27-feature research pipeline and trained XGBoost and CatBoost rankers. In Local RAG App, I built document ingestion, local embeddings, and retrieval with source citations.
Cloud & Distributed Systems
I provisioned Hadoop and Spark on Chameleon Cloud, then benchmarked 64 GB of data across up to eight nodes. The work covered cluster setup, Bash automation, and measuring how compute, shuffle, and disk I/O affect performance.
Access & Validation
Legal One has separate client, lawyer, and admin roles, with messaging isolated by session. At Codage Habitation, I built real-time validation that disabled invalid product combinations as users selected options, reducing configuration errors by over 50%.
