Megha Patel — Portfolio

About

Who am I?

I’m Megha, a Software Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building products that are simple, reliable, and make a real impact. Based in New York City and open to relocation, I enjoy turning ideas into working systems from backend logic to clean, user-friendly designs.

I recently completed my M.S. in Computer Science from Pace University (May 2025), where I strengthened my skills in software development and cloud technologies. I’ve worked with both startups and nonprofits, learning how to build fast, think clearly, and deliver what users need.

I’m now looking for a Software Engineer or Full-Stack Developer role where I can grow, solve meaningful problems, and keep building things that make people’s lives easier.
