Hi, I'm Harshitha
Machine Learning Engineer
I turn data into deployed intelligence by building practical, production-ready machine learning systems.
About Me
I'm Harshitha. When I'm not building machine learning systems, you'll probably find me chasing mountain views, wildflower seasons, or running through open plains. Utah has my heart, but Boulder will always be my number one. Paragliding in San Diego stands out as one of my most memorable adventures. Skiing is my favorite sport. That same curiosity drives how I approach my work: exploring, learning, and turning ideas into reality.
