About

I have been fascinated by computers since I was a kid who spent most of my time playing games and surfing the internet. At the age of 14, I had my own Facebook page named The Great Computer Minds which gained 5k+ quickly. I was always taken aback by how these devices could simplify complex tasks and thus as I grew older I attempted to understand the hardware and software components that made the machines tick. At age 15 I wrote my first C program making it print "Hello Harshit"! and from that time I never looked back, I ended up majoring in Computer Science and Engineering during my undergraduate studies, my passion for Computer Science did not stop here, after having some experience in Full stack development in a government firm, I decided to pursue Master's in Computer Science from California State University, Sacramento. To do my bit for the community I have recently developed an application named Covid Protector, which is built on raspberry PI and has several features including Social Distancing detection, Face mask detection, Temperature check, and Face recognization. All these things can be used by the employer for daily checking of employees which is completely contactless. It was build using AWS services like Greengrass, Lambda, DynamoDB, Amplify, etc. The machine learning model was developed using Tensorflow, OpenCV, Yolov3. My Specialties Includes AWS Certified Developer Associate AWS Certified Solution Architect AWS Certified Sys Ops Administrator Azure Certified Fundamental Languages: Python, Go, Javascript, C, Objective-C, SML. Academic: Algorithms and Data structure, Distributed Systems, Machine learning, Computer Architecture Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle DB DevOps: Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Jenkins Frameworks: Vuejs, Nodejs, Reactjs, Android
