# About Sanket Patel - Full-Stack Developer & Backend Specialist

> I specialize in building robust, scalable backend APIs and server-side applications. My focus is on designing clean RESTful architectures, optimizing database performance, and creating reliable systems that power seamless user experiences.

## Background & Philosophy
I am a software engineer focused on architecting resilient backend systems, RESTful microservices, and interactive web applications. My foundation blends analytical rigor from an engineering degree at Birla Institute of Technology (BIT Mesra) with intensive, hands-on production software development.

My approach prioritizes system clarity, performance optimization, and developer ergonomics. Whether designing automated DAST security testing frameworks like ScanForge, building lightweight cross-platform desktop editors like mdpeek, or managing high-throughput real-time communication at The Algorithm, I focus on clean architectural boundaries and reliable code.
