About Me I am a Computer Engineering student, but that is not all that I am!

Get to know me!

Hey, it’s Krish Patel. I am a Computer Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University and a DCGPU Virtualization Validation Co-op at AMD. I focus on building reliable systems through hands-on validation and automation in Python and Bash on Linux. My work includes crafting repeatable test flows, performing kernel and driver level checks, parsing registers and logs for fast triage, and documenting clear runbooks that help teams move from bug to fix with less friction.

My project portfolio spans personal endeavors, collaborative initiatives within school engineering teams such as TMAV, and participation in engineering competitions. Through these experiences I have learned to scope problems, prototype quickly, communicate tradeoffs, and ship results that stand up under constraint.

Outside of academics, I run a growing home lab centered on Ryzen powered servers. I design, build, and tune my stack, containerize services, and keep a strong focus on observability, backup, and automation. You can see snapshots of builds and notes at server.krishadmin.com.

My hobbies include exploring new operating systems, deploying Docker containers, and always looking for ways to optimize performance and reliability.

MakeUofT Group Photo

MakeUoft - 2024 - Robotics Competition

February 2024

At the MakeUofT2024 competition, our team from 3 diferent Universities introduced a revolutionary wearable tech device, designed to assist those with accessibility needs. Our device features a discreet camera and AI-powered transcription, enhancing communication and memory recall.

TMAV - 2023 AEAC Competition

May 2023

In early May our design team (Toronto Metropolitian Aerial Vehicles) took part in the Aerial Evolution Association of Canada's national competition. We were tasked with creating a drone that could fly autonomously and complete set tasks provided to us in advance. After this Competition, I was promoted to the Communications Lead for the team.

School Notes

October 2022 - Present

This site that I have coded for the use of other students in computer engineering so they can access all of their notes in one place. This website is still being updated regularly as I progress through the years.

Gooselator

This was my first competitive project done at the Ryerson Engineering Competition in 2021. Our task was to create a translator that would convert English to aboriginal languages and vice-versa. The four-man group split the work evenly and we each conquered our tasks, resulting in the third-place trophy.
