Useful software.
Thoughtful systems.
Built to connect.
I’m Param Pathak, a computer science student at UT Arlington. I build backend applications, automate the repetitive, and explore the infrastructure that keeps it all running.

02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Curiosity in.
Useful things out.
Param Pathak
I’m drawn to the whole system: the application people use, the data behind it, and the infrastructure underneath.
At UT Arlington, I’m working toward a B.S. in Computer Science. My projects span concurrent C programs, embedded hardware, a Unity team game, and a self-hosted homelab.
During my systems engineering internship at Mouser Electronics, I worked on data pipelines, reporting, and Linux deployments. I enjoy turning a practical problem into something understandable, maintainable, and useful.
