Hi, I'm ShlokPatel.
Software Engineer & Systems Administrator
I build reliable back-end systems, automate the infrastructure that runs them, and keep it all secure. Currently at Sunrise Wholesalers and Liffio.
About me
Engineering student. Builder. Problem solver.
I'm a Computer Engineering professional currently pursuing my Master of Science in Information Technology at the University of North America, Virginia. I bring hands-on experience in back-end development, network infrastructure, and Python programming.
At Sunrise Wholesalers Inc., I design and maintain software systems, manage servers and network infrastructure, and implement automation tools that keep critical operations running smoothly. I care deeply about security, reliability, and scalable architecture.
I'm a strong team player who thrives in dynamic environments — adept at multitasking, solving complex problems, and communicating clearly across teams.

Wrote a bootloader in 512 bytes
Hand-written x86 boot sector in Assembly that loads a kernel from disk — a from-scratch OS-dev deep dive.
Shipped multi-source lead engine
MailSender scrapes leads across Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit and Gmail, syncs to Google Sheets, and pings Telegram daily. Runs in production for Liffio.
Built a real-time packet analyzer
Scapy-based sniffer that captures live traffic, decodes protocol headers, and surfaces suspicious patterns.
Full-stack across the stack
From an Assembly bootloader to a React storefront to a Python API — comfortable moving up and down the stack as the problem demands.
