About Me
Learn more about my journey, my passion, and what drives me to create outstanding digital infrastructure. ๐ช
Hi, Iโm Harsh ๐ - a curious problem solver and software engineer. What started as a love for gaming soon turned into a fascination with how those worlds were built, which led me to software engineering.
I design and develop reactive, event-driven, and high-performance applications that make complex workflows simple and reliable. My toolkit includes Java 17, Spring Boot, Project Reactor, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and Netflix Conductor, with hands-on experience in TypeScript, React, and modern web development.
Iโm big on clean architecture, automation, and developer experience, the kind of principles that make engineering both powerful and enjoyable. Over the years, Iโve worked across the full SDLC, from design and coding to testing, deployment, and production support, thriving in Agile/Scrum teams that value collaboration and continuous learning.
When Iโm not coding, I enjoy exploring new food spots around the city, biking along Chicagoโs lakefront, and staying active at the gym.
