My name is Kush Patel. I graduated with a degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2017 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Soon after, I found my love for programming and enrolled at Fullstack Academy, a premier coding bootcamp. When not coding, I enjoy exploring Chicago's food scene, travelling the world (also in hopes of finding good food) and lots of skiing!
My career has always been driven by a fascination with complex systems. I began in the hangars of Delta Air Lines as a Propulsion Engineer and navigated the intricacies of aviation pricing at United Airlines.
Today, I apply that same engineering rigor to the tech industry. Since then, I was a Frontend Engineer at Splitgraph, an early-stage disruptor that provides a serverless SQL API for building data driven applications from hundreds of datasources. Following Splitgraph’s acquisition by EnterpriseDB, I pivoted my focus toward developing high-stakes data migration tools for enterprise customers transitioning to Postgres. Currently, I am taking a intentional sabbatical to dive deep into personal projects and explore new corners of technology.
