AI systems
Memory Vault
Memory that travels between AI tools, with its history intact.
What one AI tool learns rarely carries into the next — and when it does, nobody can tell where it came from or whether it is still true.
Strands:
Fenil Bharatkumar Patel
Building systems where AI, software, and business strategy converge.

Selected work — 5 systems, each at a crossing
Search
LawJobs.co
Scattered job listings, validated and made searchable.
Listings sit across many sites in many formats, rarely in the form a job-seeker actually needs.
Strands:
Local AI
Local Crawler & Summarizer
The whole retrieval loop, running on one machine.
Hosted model APIs hide how extraction, retrieval, and inference actually interact — and keep the data somewhere else.
Strands:
RAG
OCPD Assistant
A focused assistant that knows one corpus well.
A bounded body of career information is only useful if people can question it in their own words.
Strands:
Developer tooling
Claude Code skills
Working practice, encoded as skills — design, tier, deadman, and a research toolkit.
AI-assisted engineering drifts without discipline: pages ship unverified, expensive models get spent on mechanical work, long sessions die unattended, and research goes unsourced.

About — where the three already touch
I am a technology and business builder. Trained as a mechanical engineer, I began in enterprise IT at Tata Consultancy Services, went on to serve as technical advisor and co‑technical head at the startup Samuh Digital, and completed an MBA at the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business. Today my independent work centers on AI memory and retrieval systems, search tooling, and product experiments — each built with equal regard for technical soundness and practical usefulness.

Tata Consultancy Services
Associate System Engineer
Enterprise IT and application support inside a large delivery organization: Java, SQL, and WebLogic in production; ITIL-aligned incident and change management under service-level commitments; issue triage, root-cause analysis, documentation, and coordination across teams.

Samuh Digital
Technical Advisor / Co-Technical Head
The other end of the spectrum: a startup, where the work was building websites, refining products and features, identifying and resolving bugs, giving technical direction, and guiding interns through practical delivery.
Ongoing; strands: AI, Software, Business
Independent building
Independent builder — AI systems and product
AI memory and retrieval systems, search tooling, crawlers and summarizers, retrieval-augmented assistants, research tools, analytics work, and venture experiments — alongside an MBA that added the finance, strategy, and new-venture lens.
MBA; strands: Business
Master of Business Administration
University of South Florida — Muma College of Business · Tampa, Florida
Capstone — Batson-Cook Construction: A strategic analysis built from stakeholder interviews, SWOT, and competitor and business-model analysis, synthesized into recommendations spanning a training academy, client dashboards, subcontractor filtering, market expansion, thought leadership, and AI risk governance.

What it left behind: The habit of designing systems that have to work physically — tolerances, failure modes, and constraints made explicit — which still shapes how I build software.
Approach — five tightenings
Ambiguity becomes a prototype.
Open questions are answered fastest by something that runs. A working prototype exposes the real requirements sooner than any document, and it gives everyone the same object to argue about.
Systems, not features.
Approval flows, permissions, deletion, and the line between what is current and what is past decide whether a system can be trusted. I design those first and treat features as consequences.
Context is the product.
Better retrieval, memory, and provenance make AI genuinely useful. The model is the smaller part; the context system around it is where most of the engineering lives.
Optimize what matters.
Measure recall, latency, and cost where they change a decision, and leave the rest alone. Optimization is a choice about what the system is for.
Name the tradeoff.
Local versus hosted, recall versus noise, speed versus governance — every design carries a cost. Writing it down is part of the work, not an admission.
