Full-stack software engineer, outdoor enthusiast and a hustler.
Hey, I’m Girish Patil!,
I’m a full-stack software developer from Hubli / Bangalore, Karnataka, passionate about solving problems and building things—both in code and beyond.
Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking, learning rock climbing, and experimenting with hands-on projects like woodworking and trading. I enjoy exploring both technical and non-technical side projects and volunteering for causes that matter to me.
Since 2018, I’ve been co-organizing Google Developer Groups (GDG) events in Hubli, helping grow the local tech community.
Lately, I’ve been focusing on improving my physical and mental well-being while working toward some personal life goals. 🚀 Follow me on Twitter/X for my professional journey and Instagram for my personal adventures!
Ongoing projects
Certhive - A complete e-certificate platform
A complete e-certificate platform. Create e-certificates or upload your own designs. Upload a recipient list and send out certificates in bulk. Recipients can view, download and share their certificates for verification too.
OG Image templates for Vercel OG
I saw couple of projects that are selling og image templates for next.js. If everything is being sold, we might even forget about open source tbh. So, I decided to create a repo with few templates that can be used for free.

I had the privilege of working with Girish on the Hashnode developer team for a couple of years. What really impressed me was his ability to problem solve and bring any task he was given to life. Girish was a key part of the team that cemented Hashnode’s blog product as a performant and beloved blogging option of the developer community. He was also instrumental in delivering some of Hashnode’s GitHub integrated features.
On a personal level, he was always warm, friendly, and helpful if I was ever in need of some guidance. More so he was always happy to share his thoughts and input during group discussions to help the team find the best way forward. I fully believe Girish would be an invaluable asset to any team.
