Vipul Patel · Solution Architect & Engineering Leader

Current role: VP Tech Lead, NeoSOFT

Architecture experience grounded in business-critical systems

I'm Vipul Patel, a Solution Architect & Engineering Leader. I work across enterprise architecture, backend systems, integrations, production reliability, and technical delivery. My current role is VP Tech Lead at NeoSOFT.

My NeoSOFT experience includes internal business platforms and client assignments, with substantial involvement in a centralized multi-school ERP. That work connects admissions, student identity, academics, finance, transport, reporting, and shared platform services.

Who I help

Founders, CTOs, product leaders, and engineering teams building or improving complex business applications.

My approach

I start with the operating problem: who uses the system, which workflows matter, and where decisions or failures affect delivery. I compare design options against data integrity, maintainability, operational risk, and the team's ability to execute.
