Hi there! I’m Harsh — a software engineer who loves clean code, scalable systems, and the occasional caffeine-fueled debugging marathon. By day, I’m a Software Engineer III at Even Healthcare, wrangling Go microservices, integrating with hospitals, and making healthcare tech less painful (for both users and developers). I work on event-driven systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and real-time data flows — all the good stuff that makes production exciting and PagerDuty slightly terrifying. Before that, I worked at Google, where I helped improve ad sampling pipelines, revamped large-scale data processing systems, and moved revenue from “meh” to “wow.” And way back, I cut my teeth in the world of fintech at Arcesium, optimizing pricing models for securities across globe that worked while traders slept. I speak fluent Golang, Python, and C++, and I'm on good terms with Kafka, Firestore, GCP, SQL, and the mysterious world of distributed systems. I enjoy leading backend architecture efforts, mentoring newer devs, and turning legacy code into something that doesn’t keep you up at night. I’ve worked on systems that prioritize fault tolerance, high availability, and — whenever possible — minimal on-call alerts. Outside work, I’m probably binge-watching tech talks, optimizing my coffee-to-commit ratio, or wondering why "it works on my machine" doesn’t count in production. Let’s connect — especially if you're into system design, cloud engineering, DevOps practices, microservice architecture, or just want to share a good bug-hunting story. Skilled in Java, Golang, C++, Python, SQL Databases, MongoDB, Algorithms and Data Structures, Object Oriented Methodology, MicroServices, Design Principles and Design patterns. and a Competitive Programmer.
