Hey, I'm Harshit

SDE II @ UKG, building agentic AI tooling by day and side projects by night.

I build, break, learn, and occasionally write about it here. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

Hey! I'm Harshit

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I build things, break things, figure out why they broke, and occasionally write about what I learned.

I'm an SDE II at UKG, currently working on agentic AI tooling. Outside of work, I tinker with side projects, take on freelance builds, explore new tech, and collect an unreasonable number of dev memes.

This site is basically a snapshot of what I'm building, learning, and obsessing over lately.
