Hi, I'm Harsh.
I'm a full-stack engineer and backend infrastructure enthusiast obsessed with mechanical sympathy, latency budgets, and minimal developer toolchains. When not shipping production APIs, I write open-source diagnostics and curate this journal.
Journey
First lines in production
Started shipping internal tools and learned that readable code beats clever code the moment someone else has to maintain it at 2am.
Down the systems rabbit hole
Built embedded queues and caches, profiled latency budgets, and developed a lasting obsession with mechanical sympathy.
Open source & writing
Released diagnostics tooling and started documenting every postmortem. This journal is the compounding artifact of that habit.
Agentic tooling
Currently exploring AST-aware automation and AI-assisted code review that respects developer intent instead of guessing at it.

BuildLog
A full-stack developer journal built from scratch - MDX publishing, GitHub-gated comments, a custom admin CMS and a neo-brutalist design system, running entirely on free tiers.
