About

Hi! I'm Vatsal, passionate programmer and aspiring software developer from Ahmedabad, India. I love building things that actually work and solve real problems-real solutions over theoretical jargon. After leading teams in 20+ national and international hackathons and open-source programs, my work spans AI/ML, full-stack web dev, and backend engineering, I thrive on rapidly turning ideas into shipped, user-ready products.

Startup culture's speed and chaos match my energy perfectly. I enjoy fast iterations, late-night problem-solving, and celebrating small wins with the team. Beyond code, I'm an explorer who loves diving into new domains through side projects. When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me gaming, working out, or watching educational YouTube documentaries to upskill myself instead of scrolling social media.

I'm currently looking for opportunities in software development whether AI/ML, backend systems, web dev, or AI automation where I can learn, grow, and help build ambitious, high-impact products.
