About
me
i like making things.
I'm Ansh Patel, a software engineer and University of Minnesota computer science graduate. I like figuring out messy problems and turning them into things people can actually use.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me at a hackathon, working on a side project, staying active, watching sports, or planning a trip.
