Hello, I'm

Patrick Melan

Developer. Future Founder.

I am a student and aspiring software engineer focused on building high-quality applications using modern technologies such as Python, TypeScript, and AWS.

About Me

Hello! I'm Patrick Melan, a freshman at Drexel University passionate about business, data science, and software development. I have a stroung foudation in languages such as TypeScript and Python, but I'm always trying to learn more and better my skills. For example, this past summer, I gained a great amount of experience working with AWS products such as S3, DynamoDB, and Athena while developing an app for a company (shown below).

In my time outside of school, I enjoy building web apps and exploring new technologies, but that's not my life 24/7. I am a big sports guy, but basketball is my biggest passion. I have played it, officiated it, watched it, and, most recently, become a student manager for the Drexel Women's Basketball Team, which has been an amazing experience so far.

As I am writing this, I have a couple of goals for the near future. I want to increase my knowledge of Python and Machine Learning so I can build a predictive model passsion project. Additionally, I plan on finishing my first SaaS, RepuDish (shown below), and releasing it to the public.
