Sahil Patel
Full Stack Developer | Montreal, Canada
I'm focused on building realtime systems that need to work reliably. Currently at Cold Chain Science Enterprises, I'm the sole developer responsible for our core IoT platform.
My work spans the full stack. On any given week, I might be debugging IoT edge device connectivity, fixing bugs on our Android app, tuning PostgreSQL queries across millions of rows, troubleshooting a microservice degradation, building internal tools for non-technical teams, or designing a query interface that lets management pull their own data without touching the database.
I care about owning systems completely. That means understanding the code, the business context, the compliance requirements, and what happens when something breaks at 2am.
Outside of work
I write about debugging stories on my blog. I also build side projects to learn things properly. Saaz is my long-running personal music streaming system that I've rebuilt multiple times as I've learned better approaches.
I volunteered with Women Techmakers Montreal for two years, helping build and maintain their websites. It was a great experience that allowed me to learn new things, collaborate with talented people, and contribute to a community that supports women in technology.
I also served as a mentor for the Google Developer Student Club at Concordia University, guiding undergraduate students as they worked on real-world software projects. The team I mentored placed second in their competition. It was rewarding to help students grow their skills, and I enjoyed being part of the learning environment again.
These experiences gave me the opportunity to give back to the tech community while continuing to learn and grow outside of my day-to-day work.
