Hi! I’m Kirtan Patel, a full-stack engineer at Tradeweb who builds real-time systems and the UIs that supports it. At work I own high-volume alerting and platform work across Kafka, Kubernetes, and Terraform. After hours I’m usually building apps or messing around with code just to see what happens. :)
