The Person Behind patelritiq
Hi. I'm Ritik - a software engineer, trying to be sort of an information architect. And apart from all these things here... yes, I like people too.
Professionally, I work on web projects that include dotnet in heavy amounts. My interests make me lean towards automated machines and so i've worked on data and computer vision systems. That's the direction I'm headed.
Why patelritiq Exists
This blog is a reflection of how I actually think. I don't separate my interests into neat boxes - tech, cinema, football, literature, craft and cricket all live in the same head, and this is where that head writes things down.
I started writing here to document what I'm learning, to share opinions on cinema and pop culture I'd otherwise just keep to myself, to get better at writing, and to practice building things with HTML and CSS. Every post is both content and craft.
Football, Cinema, Cricket & Literature
I follow Real Madrid. What I've learned from that club isn't about trophies - it's the mentality. The ability to look finished and still find a way. They have done it many times, n' so can we. That idea carries beyond football: you stay in it, no matter what it looks like at 85 minutes.
I consume a lot of cinema. What I find most interesting are characters who exist in grey - whose choices are not right but understandable at the same time. That complexity teaches that nothing is purely right or wrong. The best films know that, and we should know that too.
There's something about cricket specifically that I respect - a team can play for five days and still not get a result, and that is not a failure. They play not just for the result but for those five days themselves. For the process. That idea of showing up fully regardless of outcome is something worth keeping.
I read. I read novels, comics and sometimes just gossip. Some of my favourite authors: Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho, Amish Tripathi, Christopher C. Doyle, n' ofcourse J.K. Rowling and George R.R. Martin. I also spend some time on mobile games - Dream League Soccer is the main one.
Let's Connect
I'm open to conversations - whether that's about something I wrote, a tech topic worth discussing, or an opportunity that might be a good fit. Drop a message anytime.
