Portrait of Vraj Patel

Systems Integration Engineer
Boulder, Colorado

Vraj Patel

I build backend services, data pipelines, and tools for support operations.

At CU Boulder’s Institute of Behavioral Science. My work connects Python, SQL, applied ML, and the people who use the results.

Review boundary synthetic

A synthetic ticket is reconciled, receives a model suggestion, and is accepted by an operator. Runtime controls still block external delivery because the system is read-only.

01 / Selected work

Three systems. Different problems.

All case studies

Software Engineering

A support-operations platform for reconciling tickets, reviewing routing suggestions, and understanding workload.

I built backend workflows, integration controls, operational analytics, and model-release tooling.

10,803 ticketsLocal reconciled corpus on August 27, 2026; 96.7% carried support-group IDs.

Research

A restartable pipeline that turns parliamentary documents and campaign audio into structured research data.

I evaluated speech and translation tools at Studio Lab, then built the end-to-end pipeline at Princeton.

Software Engineering

A team-built application for finding race photos by bib or selfie and reviewing uncertain matches.

I built athlete verification, GPX race creation, and upload/search workflows, and evaluated OCR approaches.
