Senior Software Engineer and Systems Architect

Brindal Patel

More than a decade of experience, from early-stage startups to large enterprises. I enjoy taking complex projects from first idea to production, across web, cloud, IoT, embedded systems and robotics. Today I focus on distributed systems, observability and the platforms that put AI models into production safely.

What I work on

  • System design

    Distributed, event-driven systems that stay correct under heavy load.

  • Platforms for AI

    Governed, self-service access to models, with budgets, policy and traces.

  • Observability and reliability

    Telemetry that explains a system, and the engineering that keeps it running.

  • Web, cloud and product

    Leading web and cloud projects end to end, from first idea to deployment.

  • IoT, embedded and robotics

    Software that runs close to the hardware, on devices and machines.

  • Peer review and evaluation

    Reviewer for research software journals (JOSS, JORS), evaluating distributed systems and production architectures.

Building the Internal Developer Platform for Generative AI

From raw foundation models to governed, self-service APIs.

  • Govern tokens like money. Hold, capture, release, so budgets cannot be raced.
  • Cache only what is provably the same. Scope, similarity, entities and intent, every time.
  • Fail over only to tested models. A backup earns its place by passing your evals.
