Karan Patel

I’m a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student with 6+ months of backend internship experience, focused on building production REST APIs. I work primarily with Python and FastAPI, designing strict schemas and reliable service behavior from the start.

At Magenta Connects, I engineered 10+ FastAPI endpoints with Pydantic validation, implemented JWT-based authentication, and integrated third-party APIs. I also optimized MySQL queries and MongoDB aggregation pipelines, improving average database response time by ~30% through indexing and query restructuring.

I enjoy engineering that blends performance and correctness, so I’ve spent time debugging production issues across FastAPI routes and ClickHouse pipelines. I also collaborate in Agile sprints—participating in code reviews and maintaining clean coding standards with a 5-member team.

Beyond backend, I’ve built AI-powered applications using OpenCV and deep learning, including a real-time gesture system reaching 95%+ accuracy at 30fps. I’m now seeking a backend or full-stack developer role where I can keep shipping dependable APIs, optimize data workflows, and grow quickly with a strong team.
