Profile: https://flows.cv/harsh

I am a University of California, Riverside Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in software engineering, data structures, algorithms, and full stack development. Currently, I am working on a startup and pursuing an apprenticeship at PPDN INC, where I continue to expand my technical and entrepreneurial skills.

My project experience includes developing a Task Management Application using React and Flask, where I built efficient Python APIs and enhanced scalability with MongoDB Atlas. I also led the development of a Movie Recommendation Website, guiding a team to implement an unsupervised learning algorithm and deliver key features within tight deadlines. Additionally, I spearheaded a team project to build a Non-Relational C++ Database, focusing on optimizing performance and ensuring system reliability through unit testing.

With proficiency in C++, Python, JavaScript, Go, and Java, as well as experience using technologies such as Flask or Spring Boot, MongoDB or PostgreSQL, React, and frameworks for building RESTful APIs, I am passionate about driving innovation and delivering impactful solutions. I look forward to contributing to meaningful projects and growing as a developer in a collaborative environment.
