I’m Nirav Patel, a rabble rouser, robot herder, meatsmith, moonshiner, psuedocryptozoologist, and all around eclecticc individual. I’m also a graduate of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and a software development engineer at a company I’m not going to list anymore, as evidently it is impossible to resist putting it in the blurbs of blog posts about projects I do. That is, _____ employee Nirav Patel, rather than International Man of Mystery Nirav Patel, or Standard Nerd Nirav Patel, unveiled today a Turing complete toaster. I tend to dream more than act, but I spend much of my life realizing the dreams. This blog is an attempt to share some of that and hopefully make some friends (or better, enemies) in the process.
Where I Am on The Internet
I’ve run and still run a few other websites, so if you feel the need to stalk me, here is a good list to start with:
- United SpongeBob – Started as Spongezone.net in 2002 as a Freshman in High School, but it is still alive and running. It was also my main source of income until after my Sophomore year of college.
- Student Technology Outreach – I website I started for a student organization at CMU in 2007.
- n0r – This was basically just an excuse to own a three character domain name. I use it mainly for testing, though it also holds git.n0r.org.

- My YouTube channel
