— or Hazz, to friends.
Software developer & ML engineer building thoughtful products at the intersection of web and AI. Computer Science graduate from the University of Westminster, currently exploring how language models can quietly become great software.

A short story.
I'm Harsh — most people just call me Hazz. A Computer Science graduate from the University of Westminster, where I split my focus between modern web engineering and applied machine learning. Today I build full-stack interfaces, train models, and chase the unfair joy of shipping.
Outside of work I'm a quiet evangelist for thoughtful UI, espresso pulled too long, and reading way more papers than I have time to implement.

Craft
Software is read more than written. Clarity over cleverness.
Curiosity
New paper drops? I'm reading it. New framework? I'm breaking it.
Quiet impact
The best work feels obvious in hindsight. I aim for that.
Tools of the trade.
A non-exhaustive snapshot of what I reach for. I prefer learning the next thing well over name-dropping the last.

I'm currently open to engineering roles, freelance collaborations, and the occasional weekend prototype. Drop me a line — I read everything.
