About Harsha Gullapalli

I’m a software developer with a background in user experience research and product design. I originally worked in UX, studying how people use software and identifying where products break down. Over time I became more interested in building the solutions directly, which led me into software development. I now focus on building practical applications and developer tools using modern web and backend technologies. My work includes developing full-stack applications with TypeScript, React, Go, APIs, and database systems, as well as working with distributed systems and blockchain infrastructure. I enjoy building systems that are reliable, understandable, and useful to real users. One of the advantages of my background is the combination of engineering and user-centered thinking. My experience in UX research helps me design and implement software that is both technically sound and intuitive to use. I’ve worked on projects ranging from full-stack web applications and developer education platforms to blockchain-based systems, and I regularly lead technical sessions and collaborative coding projects to help other developers learn new tools and frameworks. Technologies I commonly work with include: • TypeScript / JavaScript • Go • React and modern web frameworks • APIs and backend services • Databases such as PostgreSQL and Supabase • Git and collaborative development workflows I’m particularly interested in working on challenging engineering problems, developer tooling, scalable systems, and well-designed software products.
