Harsh works as a software engineer for Microsoft. He has worked on quite a few things and he feels that it still hasn't been enough for his exploration and he should keep trying new technologies and keep learning.
Besides his interest in cloud computing (read Azure) and programming in general, he likes reading and fiddling with CTF questions and ciphers. He started the HackCon (Build the Shield) event in Microsoft, which is Microsoft's version of Capture the Flag events. He is also a moody blogger and tries to keep his portfolio up to date.
