Completely lost my mind while trying to get Computer Science degree at UIC with a surprisingly stable 3.62 GPA—I guess it hasn’t figured out yet that I’m totally winging it. If I play my cards right (and don't bomb my finals), I’ll be outta there with a degree in December 2025.

Teaching Assistant for CS 261: I’ve got 300 students signed up, but 50 elite ever show up to see if I actually exist. My teaching style? A sprinkle of sarcasm and pretending I know what I am doing.

Coding Shenanigans at BITS Lab: I’m whipping up a Visual Studio Code extension that lights up your C code’s darkest secrets (how u probably GPTed the whole code and dont know how to debug it). Also, I’m messing with automated proof generation—because, hey, maybe it’ll crash less.

Technician at Tech Helpdesk : Spending my day asking client if they tried turning it off and on again?

Officer at Linux Users Group at UIC where I keep iterating that windows suck even though we use Active Directory ourselves. Hopefully no one ever gets to know that.😭

Human-Computer Interaction Research at UIC Elicit Lab: I’m basically trying to figure out why people yell at their computers. I thought they were using GNOME but Turns out, a nicer-looking screen makes them yell less. Who knew?

Learning Assistant for Math : I basically again tried to pretend I know anything in Math.

Unix-like Shell in C: Mostly works like a charm, until it doesn’t and then I remember why I am not a system adminstrator.

Secure CLI Password Manager: A fancy way to keep passwords that doesn’t involve sticky notes. It’s built with Python, rocks AES-256 encryption, and doesn’t go through the wash.

Arc Editor: A slim text editor that can deal with files without blowing up my laptop. Tested it myself during one too many late-night coding sessions

Tic Tac Toe AI: Crafted with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it’s designed to make sure I can never win. Great for my ego. Also whenever I feel useless I look at it.

BlackJack Game: More exciting than my usual lectures and built in old ass JavaFX which whoever uses should have been diagnosed with severe case of psychosis.

Currently my active website which I built using HTML and CSS is hosted on https://justharsh.xyz

I have written some great blogs related to cybersecurity. Visit on my blog on why no one should click on random links here.
