Hi, I'm Hetal, a full-stack software engineer based in Toronto, passionate about building thoughtful, user-focused products.

I bring hands-on experience across the backend (Python, Django, FastAPI, GraphQL) and frontend (React, TypeScript), and lately I've been deep into building with LLMs and agentic AI. I thrive in fast-paced startup environments where I can take ownership and move quickly from idea to execution.

Outside of work, I'm an adrenaline junkie who loves being outdoors. I'm always up for a thrill ā€” whether it's skydiving šŸŖ‚ or riding the tallest roller coasters šŸŽ¢ I can find.
