> London-based software engineer building AI pipelines, full-stack products, and cloud-native systems.

Darshan Chheda (full name Darshan Ramesh Chheda; also known as 1337XCode, Darsh) is a software engineer based in London, United Kingdom.

I build AI pipelines, full-stack products, and cloud-native systems: LangGraph agents and RAG retrieval, containerised microservices on Kubernetes, and on-device inference for Android. I hold an MSc in Software Development from Queen's University Belfast and a First Class degree in Finance, which is where my habit of treating correctness and data integrity as features rather than afterthoughts comes from.
