Summary
Hardik Patel is a Senior Principal Consultant and seasoned full-stack developer with 11 years of experience building secure, cloud-native systems across federal and commercial domains in the Washington DC–Baltimore area. He specializes in Python-driven backends (FastAPI, Flask), RESTful APIs, AWS infrastructure as code, and ELK-driven data pipelines, with a TS/SCI background that underscores his operational security fluency. As a lead engineer he has automated tedious RHEL STIG remediation, saving multiple FTEs, and maintained CI/CD pipelines while authoring technical playbooks for teams. His career spans geospatial and analytics work, clandestine tooling for secure search, and development of asynchronous scrapers and scalable PostgreSQL-backed services. Hardik blends hands-on implementation with team leadership—having led two major projects and introduced Agile workflows—and has formal training in cybersecurity (MEng) that informs pragmatic, auditable engineering decisions. He is comfortable shipping end-to-end systems from infrastructure to APIs and often focuses on automations that eliminate manual toil.
