hello, I'm Manan —

I build web things with care & warmth. 

Associate Software Developer at DRC Systems, based in Gujarat, India. I turn fuzzy ideas into clean, fast, friendly software — and I sweat the small stuff so users never have to.

01about me

A short letter,
instead of a bio.

Dear visitor,

I'm Manan Patel — a software engineer who likes the space where design meets engineering. I spend my days at DRC Systems building full-stack web apps with React, Next.js, Node and MongoDB, and my evenings breaking them lovingly to learn how they really work.

I believe good software should feel invisible — reliable enough to be trusted, smooth enough to be forgotten. That belief shapes everything from how I name variables to how a button feels when you press it.

When I'm not shipping features, I'm solving DSA problems, chasing contest ratings, or redesigning this very page for the nth time.
