About Harsh Kumar

I am a highly motivated and results-driven Software Engineer, passionate about solving complex problems and building scalable, high-impact software solutions. While I’m still exploring my specialization, I have gained professional experience in fintech, inventory management, and system automation, and I am equally intrigued by AI and low-level development.At Airtel Digital, I played a key role in optimizing critical workflows, automating user management, and implementing highly scalable retry mechanisms, resolving stuck orders without manual intervention. I also enhanced system integrations by improving serial and RMA number tracking, ensuring 100% traceability. Additionally, I implemented a security deposit-based onboarding system for third-party partners, ensuring inventory allocation based on available deposit amounts across platforms, improving financial control and operational efficiency.Previously, at Consights Tech, I developed production-ready APIs using Django and Django REST Framework while also contributing to front-end development with ReactJS. My hands-on experience spans backend, full-stack development, and automation, and I enjoy working on both high-level software architecture and low-level system optimizations.Beyond professional work, I actively engage in hackathons, open-source projects, and AI experimentation. My notable projects include:Edi–A fully functional terminal-based text editor written in Go, built from scratch using the Go Standard Library.Neer–A backend system for an automated water body cleaning bot, developed using Django, YOLO, and PostgreSQL.Drowsiness Detector–A vision-based driver fatigue detection system using OpenCV and dlib.I thrive in high-pressure environments, having participated in and won multiple hackathons. My ability to think on my feet and develop innovative solutions under tight constraints sets me apart.I am currently learning Java and experimenting with DeepSeek, LLaMA, and open-source AI models while continuing to explore different areas of software engineering.Beyond coding, I have actively contributed to leadership roles, serving as the Secretary of the English Literary and Debating Club and the Management Head of NIT Kurukshetra Alumni Association Student Body. These experiences have honed my communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, which I apply to both technical problem-solving and collaborative development in software engineering. Open to job opportunities, networking, mentorship, and collaborations—let’s connect and build something impactful!
