About
I'm Gaurang Patel. Backend engineer with strong product instincts.
I spent 4+ years at Tinder as an early engineering hire, scaling distributed systems through hypergrowth — co-engineering SMS authentication that doubled the user base, building the push notification microservice from scratch, and shipping features internationally.
Now I'm building across the AI stack. I recently shipped Agent Sentinel, an open-source LLM governance proxy in Go, and I'm building Lumen, a privacy-first AI coaching companion with client-side encryption and multi-session context management.
You can find me on LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter.
