I speak at European tech conferences and write at neelbhatt.com, sharing lessons from architecture and AI driven systems. As a mentor, I enjoy supporting developers who want to grow into senior roles, improve system design skills or transition into leadership.
If you want to build real world systems with confidence and clarity, I would love to help.
