Profile: https://flows.cv/harshith

I’m a software engineer pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, with 4 years of experience building products at early-stage startups. I’m actively seeking Summer 2026 software engineering internships where I can contribute to impactful projects from day one.

My engineering journey started at 17, contributing to the Wikimedia Foundation through my college’s open-source club, amFOSS. Since then, I’ve participated in Google Summer of Code with Public Lab and the Linux Foundation Mentorship with GraphQL, which sparked my passion for building tools that developers love to use.

At Daily (YC-backed “Stripe for video”), I was the first engineer to build on top of their APIs, creating reference implementations that customers used to get started. My most notable project: a multiplayer OBS-in-the-browser supporting 100k+ viewers with sub-200ms latency, streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn, and X (live at daily-studio.vercel.app). I also built an internal meetings platform with AI-powered summaries and analytics that became indispensable for Daily’s customer-facing teams, hosting over 1,500 meetings and still in active use today.

At Aragon.ai, I optimized core web vitals by 50%, improving both user experience and SEO rankings. I led landing page redesigns that boosted conversion rates, architected a streamlined upload flow system, and built analytics dashboards for real-time business metrics—all while launching new AI-powered photo generation features.

I’m looking for opportunities where I can leverage my startup experience to build meaningful products, work with cutting-edge technologies, and learn from exceptional teams.
