Nilesh Patel

Nilesh grew up in the Gujarat province of India, where he excelled at cricket and math. Forsaking his childhood dream of playing professional cricket, he studied undergraduate mechanical engineering at The North Gujarat University before moving to Adelaide to receive a master’s degree in the same subject. Remaining in Australia (where he is now a citizen), Nilesh worked as a design engineer in Brisbane where he began studying SOLIDWORKS API. He joined CADSharp part-time in 2018 and then full-time in 2019, where his deep design background gives him great insight into the automation needs of our customers. He is happily married with one son, despises vegemite, and enjoys reminding Kiwis that New Zealand is basically Australia’s Canada.
