About Me

Introduction

Hey, I’m Harsha — a builder from Bangalore, India.

I spend most of my time writing code, learning how systems actually work, and testing my limits mentally, physically, and creatively. I’m not interested in shortcuts anymore. I’m interested in foundations, consistency, and showing up even when motivation disappears.

Right now, my primary focus is web development, especially backend systems and practical applications of AI. I don’t marry stacks. Tech evolves fast, and I intend to evolve faster — without losing depth.

What I’m Building Right Now

I like building things that solve real problems, not demo projects that die after a README. Recent and ongoing work includes:

  • A Document Question Answering System using RAG + LangChain
  • A static Express-based API for developers
  • A dynamic persona-based AI chatbot adaptable to business use cases

At this stage, I’m preparing to move deeper into open-source contributions. Building in public, breaking things, fixing them, and collaborating with people who care about craft matters more to me than working in isolation.

How It Really Started

My relationship with technology started early — curiosity, computers, and a need to understand how things work. Somewhere along the way, I took a detour into biology. It didn’t last. Computing pulled me back, and this time it stuck.

I began with small front-end experiments and gradually moved toward full-stack development. The biggest shift wasn’t technical — it was internal. Discipline replaced talent. Systems replaced motivation.

Running a full marathon in October 2024 changed how I see effort. You don’t negotiate with distance. You train, you suffer, you finish. Debugging at 2 a.m. feels familiar for the same reason.

Outside the Terminal

When I’m not coding, I’m usually:

  • Reading books (currently: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari)
  • Playing darts — accuracy matters more than force
  • Writing poetry and reflective blogs
  • Playing chess occasionally
  • Watching and dissecting films — cinema shapes how I think about life and storytelling
