HARSH Kumar

I’m an Integrated M. Tech student in Applied Geophysics at IIT Dhanbad (expected May 2026). In my dissertation work, I’m developing a Python-based geomechanics GUI with customtkinter that loads CSV/Excel files, computes elastic moduli and related parameters, and visualizes results with Matplotlib for fast interpretation.

I also build production-style software—most notably a full-stack microservices e-commerce platform using Node.js (Express), React, and Apache Kafka for event-driven, asynchronous order processing. I implemented authentication, orders, payments, and notifications with MongoDB, JWT, bcrypt, and Docker, and deployed backends on Render while hosting the frontend on Vercel, with secure local Kafka exposure via ngrok. I integrated Razorpay and Stripe for secure payment handling.

To keep work practical and user-focused, I develop AI and interactive apps as well. In my “Vaarta” personal AI chatbot, I used Dialogflow with the Google Calendar API to improve conversational accuracy by 40% and reduce manual scheduling time by 30%. I also built a Leetcode whiteboard interview web app using NextJs/NodeJs and Firebase, leveraging Leetcode’s GraphQL API so users can track logic notes—targeting a 10,000+ user audience.
