Santosh Patel | Full-Stack Engineer & Cloud Developer

Philosophy & Context

Behind the code

Who I Am

I am a full-stack developer who values performance, readability, and clean system design. Based in India, I bridges the gap between server efficiency and high-fidelity interfaces.

What I Build

I construct scalable backend structures, RESTful APIs, and responsive frontends. I spend my time planning database schemas, securing routes, and writing clean, structured TypeScript.

Current Focus

Currently engineering backends and integrating LLM workflows at Ravan.ai. I'm focusing on high-speed data access, rate limiters, caching layers, and database optimizations.

AI Experience

Developing AI-powered products has taught me how to coordinate structured data schemas, handle large contexts, and optimize prompt pipelines for production-ready reliability.

Builder Mindset

I believe in building projects that people actually use. I focus heavily on shipping functional, accessible software rather than just completing tutorials or writing boilerplate.

Featured Case Study

AAHAR: Decentralized Food
Donation Pipeline

An ongoing civic-technology product engineered to solve supply-chain leakages in food surplus redistribution. By pairing MERN API servers with real-time sockets and cryptographic QR verification, AAHAR establishes verification and speed in public aid networks.

View Repository Live Demo

The Distribution Problem

Traditional food donation processes are fragmented. NGOs struggle with unpredictable supply schedules, and donor transactions lack auditing. Food is frequently wasted due to delays in transport matching, and malicious actors can claim resources without delivering them to distribution sites.

The Cryptographic Solution

AAHAR coordinates listings on a centralized express server connected to MongoDB. When an NGO volunteer picks up food, the donor generates a unique SHA-256 hash token embedded in a QR code. Verification occurs at delivery: scanning the QR matches the signature key, updating the audit logs.

System Architecture & Data Flows

Visual representation of data states and authorization models

Role-Based Operations

AAHAR maps permissions using segmented validation loops for three key user entities.

Workflow details

Donors Integration Portal

Restaurants, caterers, or households register to post food surplus availability details (quantity, perishability time, pickup address).

SHA-256 Validation

Donors pack listings into SHA-256 tokens using the crypto-js library. Scans trigger route matching algorithms, verifying keys against original payload signatures before releasing delivery status.

Real-time Sockets

Express servers handle bi-directional socket connections. Active NGOs maintain continuous open lines, receiving immediate broadcasts the millisecond listings are published by verified donors.

AWS Deployment

The application engine is prepared for AWS Elastic Beanstalk orchestration, utilizing secure VPC groups to interface safely with MongoDB Atlas databases and keep application endpoints active.
