Summary
Neel Patel is a Senior Software Engineer based in Milpitas, CA with nine years of experience building Android applications and backend services using Java, C++, Spring Boot, and modern mobile libraries like Retrofit, RxJava, Dagger, and Glide. He holds an MS in Computer Engineering from San Jose State University and is an Oracle Certified Java Programmer who has transitioned from research projects—such as an emergency-reporting Android app and object-tracking vision work using Kalman filters and SIFT—into production roles at Lucid Motors. At Lucid he progressed from Android Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer, contributing to vehicle-facing software and platform integrations that blend mobile, REST APIs, and cloud-backed data stores like Firebase and MySQL. Neel combines hands-on implementation skills with practical tooling expertise (Git, Postman, Android Studio) and a track record of improving performance and user-facing features. He often bridges research and product: earlier academic work included assisting student projects and instruction in compiler design, reflecting both technical depth and mentorship experience. Comfortable across embedded/mobile and server-side stacks, he prefers solving real-world problems where efficient algorithms meet polished user experiences.
