Hi, I'm Harshitha
AI/ML Engineer
I turn data into deployed intelligence by building practical, production-ready AI/ML 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.
Professional Experience
Machine Learning Engineer
MODE Civil Services
Built CivAssist, an AI drafting assistant on GCP that automates PDF redline corrections in AutoCAD. Built an end-to-end pipeline combining OCR and NLP with Vertex AI (Gemini) and LangGraph-based agentic system, reducing manual drafting effort by 85% across 1,000+ documents/month.
AI Engineer
University of Colorado Boulder
Architected end-to-end Generative AI pipelines on GCP using Vertex AI and LangChain, integrating RAG with knowledge graphs for multi-hop reasoning over institutional research data. Provisioned scalable infrastructure and deployed fine-tuned LLMs to improve forecast reliability and automate research synthesis.
Associate Consultant - Data Science
Wipro Technologies
Engineered scalable GCP data pipelines and applied BERT-based NLP models to extract insights from unstructured clinical data, improving patient-outcome prediction models by 15%. Managed the ML lifecycle with MLflow and SHAP, and deployed real-time inference APIs using Docker and Kubernetes.
