Darshil Patel — AI Engineer · Product Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer at heart - equal parts builder and tinkerer. I write code, design systems, and stay on problems until the solution feels obvious in hindsight. People call me a design engineer, an AI engineer, and occasionally both.

I run Oravity, a freelancing studio for founders and developers. The main thing shipping out of it is Oravity Store, ready-to-deploy products for startups who just need to buy, host, and move on.

I'm building Interwave, an open-source alternative to Intercom, built for the developers it priced out, and Root, an OS-level autonomous AI agent, local, offline-first, architected from scratch as a full dissertation.

When I'm not shipping product, I'm grinding DSA in Java, exploring AI agents and automation, or writing about design, AI, and what it actually takes to build something real.
