HARSH SHARMA
SYSTEMS & AI ENGINEER
I build systems where performance moves by orders of magnitude and AI acts only with earned authority. From EDA data infrastructure to Agentic AI to Robotics Control. Founder of Gixts Labs.
Leadership & Experience
Charting the course from foundational engineering to leading strategic backend operations across global startups.
Backend & Automation Engineer / Upcoming India Lead
Sole India-based engineer directly reporting to the Founder, working with a distributed team across the USA and China. Architected the core AuroraDB parser achieving a 98% latency reduction - cutting 2-hour jobs to under 1 minute. Owns end-to-end EDA format translation pipelines including DB-to-AAF, DB-to-SPD (designed a 35+ class hierarchy from scratch), AAF-to-AEDB with PyAEDT/Ansys EM integration, IPC-2581 from Cadence Allegro, and PADS library translation. Manages 8 concurrent active projects across the full EDA interoperability stack.
Team Lead & System Software Engineer / Tech Advisor
Sole System Software Engineer and Team Lead for robot control platform. Managed R&D and acted as a technical representative closing integration deals with global counterparts mapping physical robotics to AI control pipelines.
Software Development Engineer (R&D)
Engineered high-performance memory-swap optimization for large EDA design setups. Built the Remote Tempus Session (RTS) feature to decentralize heavy workloads with robust IBM Cloud CI/CD automation.
R&D Intern
Replaced legacy parsers with modern Verific implementations across massive-scale codebases, heavily optimizing regression testing runtimes using C++ and internal GDB tooling.
Team Lead, Full-Stack Development
Led development team bridging cross-functional roles in the global e-commerce marketplace integrations interacting with founder office.
Co-Founder & Technical Architect
Co-founded a social meeting application implementing scalable events and matchmaking/dating features. Drove product strategy and executed full-scale backend prototypes.
Proud Works
From high-frequency parser latency reductions in advanced EDA platforms to architecting community-driven tech literacy programs.
Advanced AuroraDB Parser & Semantic Analysis
Designed the structured database format for EDA workflows with full CRUD APIs (AuroraDB & EnhancedAuroraDB). Extended into EnhancedAuroraDB supporting customer-specific re-routing and design modifications. Built GenAI-powered synthetic test case generator for large-scale regression validation. Integrates interoperable format conversion across Ansys and Cadence standards.
AuroraDB Multi-Format Translation Pipeline
Owns the full EDA format interoperability stack at Aurora System, translating AuroraDB designs into Cadence SPD, Ansys AEDB, AAF, IPC-2581, and PADS library formats. Designed a 35+ class SPD hierarchy from scratch. Achieved 98% latency reduction on the core parser. Integrated PyAEDT for Ansys EM automation.
ApplyMate: Local-First Career Suite
Resume builder, job search, and application tracker in one desktop app. 30 ATS-safe templates with text-layer PDF and DOCX export, an 18-point ATS analysis engine, live job aggregation from six ATS platforms, and a Kanban funnel with analytics. AI runs on your own key across 12 providers or fully in-browser via WebGPU. Shipped v1.1.1 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
OdinPulse: GitHub Traction Due-Diligence
Tells investors whether a repository's growth was earned or manufactured. Reconstructs full star history from public archive data back to 2011, scores authenticity across six weighted factors, detects cross-repo lockstep patterns, and generates counter-questions for founder meetings. The deterministic engine renders every verdict; AI only narrates finished evidence.
Autonomous Agentic Control Framework
Developed AI-driven control algorithms supporting point cloud to robotic pose mapping for autonomous error recovery and adaptive path planning within the Robot Operating System.
Decaying NFT Blockchain Fraud & Warranty System
Architected an advanced blockchain model to obliterate fraud and assure ironclad warranty management via serial numbers. NFTs securely map product lifespan, decaying naturally to definitively invalidate warranties post-redemption, achieving a self-verifying, trustless decentralized ecosystem.
Gixts Labs: Local-First Open Source
Founder of an open source org shipping privacy-first software: no accounts, no telemetry, bring your own AI key or run local. FitSage (fitness coach with a procedurally generated 3D anatomy engine), Solace (mental health companion with a deterministic crisis-safety layer), Aria (confirmation-gated voice agent), plus a 16-project public roadmap with community voting. Upstream contributions to rust-lang, Epic Games projects, and RocketRide.
Tech For Good: Volunteer Education
Mentored underprivileged students as a Computer Teacher at Vidya & Child NGO during my tenure at Cadence. Instructed critical Mathematics curricula alongside Prayas Society and Intellify, compounding community growth through accessible, high-quality technical education.
Global Tech Evangelism & Hackathons
Orchestrated massive hackathons and university technical fests. Produced thousands of hours of free internet content decrypting deep history, programming tricks, and complex architectural designs.
Beyond the Code
Under the pen name Asita, I run an independent research program called the Hidden History Compendium - investigating consciousness science, Vedic knowledge systems, electromagnetic physics, and suppressed history with the same rigour I bring to engineering.
