About Me

Harsh Narayan Jha

Student at Birla Institute of Technology

Hi There! I am Harsh, and I like to build things. I am currently a student at Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar, pursuing my BTech in Computer Science Engineering. I spend my time tinkering with things and experimenting with.

You can rely on me as an full-stack engineer, a game dev, or an app dev. I have a knack for problem-solving and a passion for learning new technologies. I have expertise in various programming languages and frameworks, including Python, JS/TS, React/NextJS, Svelte, Flutter, Unity/Godot, Kotlin, C++, Rust and more.

I use Arch Linux and Hyprland as my daily driver, and carry an Android Phone. I don't hate windows, but it is now horrible to use. I love making an contributing to open source projects.

Here are some of the things I enjoy
