Hello, my name is Vishal Parekh! I'm a full-stack developer and AI-powered product builder creating modern SaaS applications using Python, TypeScript, React, & Next.js.
About me
After my first year of grad school where I was pursuing my master's degree in computer science, I landed a software engineering internship in the financial services industry to gain practical experience building large, scalable software systems. Since then, I've held multiple positions as an AWS Certified full-stack developer building fintech applications in the product space and as an independent consultant. My favorite aspect about software development is problem-solving. I love the satisfaction of finally figuring out a solution to a complex problem. Although I am always interested in learning new technologies, my core stack is Python (FastAPI/Flask), PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, & Next.js. I am also familiar with Java and NoSQL databases. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer.
