About

I currently live in San Francisco and was part of the founding team at buildspace.

I grew up in India, moved to Chicago when I was 14, and studied Computer Engineering at UIUC. I spend a chunk of my 20s backpacking around the world. I continue to spend 1-2 months a year in India.

I don't like to bucket myself into one category but I design, I code, I tell stories. I create experiences. Ultimately, all of my work is geared towards making people feel.

The quickest way to reach me via X at @stavanpatel with a clear ask. If you prefer a different medium, feel free to email me. I check it once a week and try to get back to all emails.
