Experience

Three roles, three production codebases. Each one replaced something manual with something that runs on its own.

Software Engineer Co-op

Origin Wireless

Internal tooling and fleet observability for a wireless-sensing company. Shipped operator-facing dashboards, access control, and the monitoring layer under them.

  • Next.js
  • Redis
  • BullMQ
  • MySQL
  • Apache Casbin
  • Jest

  • Built a dashboard that replaced a manual curl-based terminal workflow for constructing and sending network topologies, cutting task completion time and eliminating a recurring source of operator error.

  • Designed and shipped role-based access control (admin, partner, maintainer) using Apache Casbin, closing a security gap by restricting partner visibility into sensitive model configuration without breaking internal team workflows.

  • Independently built a fleet monitoring dashboard in Next.js, using Redis, BullMQ, and MySQL to aggregate CSI status across devices via background jobs, triggering real-time alerts on service failures and supporting a company-wide pilot rollout.

  • Authored setup and usage documentation for the fleet dashboard codebase to support onboarding and cross-team adoption.

  • Revamped an internal service dashboard with updated branding and optimized rendering performance, and built new dedicated dashboards for multiple services, supporting cross-team monitoring.

  • Wrote unit and integration tests with Jest covering core frontend and backend workflows end to end, catching regressions before code reached production.

Software Engineer — Founding Engineer

Jayso Labs

First engineer on a consumer platform for exploring city development plans and real estate projects across India. Owned architecture, infrastructure, and the geospatial layer.

  • Node.js
  • AWS S3
  • CloudFront
  • Docker
  • AWS EKS
  • Terraform
  • BigQuery GIS

  • As founding engineer, architected and built the core platform from the ground up, scaling it to over 1 million active users exploring city development plans and real estate projects across India.

  • Built a distributed map tile server using Node.js, AWS S3, and CloudFront, designed to support additional and future city expansion maps layered onto Google Maps, using caching and CDN delivery to keep tile loading fast and efficient at scale.

  • Containerized the platform with Docker and deployed it to AWS EKS, writing Terraform scripts to provision infrastructure as code, enabling repeatable, scalable deployments for the map tile server and supporting services.

  • Designed a geospatial query API on top of BigQuery's GIS functions that returns a user's nearest projects and land listings first, with cursor-based pagination and multi-layer caching to keep results fast and consistent as usage scaled to millions of requests.

Software Engineering Intern

Oizom Instruments

Environmental sensing hardware company. Automated the infrastructure under internal tooling and built the calibration dashboard the hardware team used.

  • Terraform
  • Packer
  • AWS EC2
  • Next.js

  • Automated EC2 infrastructure provisioning using declarative Terraform configurations and custom Packer AMIs, eliminating manual setup for internal tool deployment.

  • Built a Next.js sensor calibration dashboard that replaced manual validation checks with automated calibration tracking, reducing validation overhead.

    Google Workspace MCP Server

    An MCP server that lets Claude act as an autonomous agent across Gmail, Drive, and Calendar.

    • Built an MCP server enabling Claude to act as an autonomous agent across Gmail, Drive, and Calendar, exposing OAuth2-secured tools so LLMs can execute real workspace actions rather than just generate text.

    Cloud-Based API Deployment & Infrastructure Automation

    A distributed AWS backend built for load, provisioned entirely as code.

    • Architected a scalable, resilient distributed backend handling 5K requests/sec on AWS using EC2, ALB, RDS, and S3, with zero-downtime deployments demonstrating cloud-native design at production scale.

    • Automated cost-effective infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Packer, and GitHub Actions, cutting manual deployment time to near-zero and enforcing infrastructure-as-code across all environments.

NOTES

Straight answers

The questions that actually get asked, answered without hedging.

Who is Smit Patel?

Smit Patel is a software engineer based in Boston, MA, completing an MS in Software Engineering Systems at Northeastern University in December 2026. He was the founding engineer at Jayso Labs, where he architected a platform that reached over 1 million active users, and is currently a software engineering co-op at Origin Wireless.

What kind of engineering work does he do?

Full-stack work weighted toward infrastructure and distributed systems: Node.js and Next.js services, AWS and GCP, Kubernetes and Terraform, Kafka and Spark streaming, and geospatial APIs on BigQuery GIS. He has repeatedly owned systems end to end rather than contributing to one layer.

What is he looking for?

Full-time software engineering roles in the United States starting January 2027, after he graduates from Northeastern in December 2026. He is open to backend, infrastructure, platform, and full-stack positions.

What is the largest system he has built?

The Jayso Labs platform, which he architected and built from the ground up as founding engineer and which scaled to over 1 million active users. It included a distributed map tile server on Node.js, AWS S3, and CloudFront, and a geospatial query API on BigQuery GIS handling millions of requests with cursor-based pagination and multi-layer caching.

What languages and technologies does he use?

JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, SQL, and Go. React and Next.js on the frontend; Node.js, Express, FastAPI, Django, and GraphQL on the backend; AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform for infrastructure; PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Kafka, and Spark for data; and LangChain, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows for AI work.

How do I contact him?

Email patel.smit11@northeastern.edu or call 857-397-9736. He is also at linkedin.com/in/smitpatel3107 and github.com/SmitPatel-31.
