About

Hello, I'm Jay Patel, a passionate software developer dedicated to creating impactful full-stack applications that make a difference. By day, I serve as a Simulation Software Developer for the United States Air Force, where I bring my technical expertise to mission critical projects. In my free time, I'm always experimenting with new technologies and building innovative applications. Most recently, I've been diving into QT to develop cross-platform C++ applications with rich user interfaces and exceptional performance.
