About
Passionate AI engineer focused on building impactful systems that drive real business value.
I specialize in applied AI, from optimizing smaller LLMs with supervised fine-tuning to designing multi-agent systems and adaptive assistants with memory and reasoning. I’m pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology and have built AI systems that power enterprises and solve real business problems. My work focuses on making advanced AI methods practical and valuable in real-world applications.
I believe AI should help people achieve more — that’s what drives my work.

Core Principles
The principles I return to when making tough decisions, solving problems, and shaping my work.
Have a high Signal-Noise Ratio
Focus on 3 things that needs to be achieved in the next 18 hours that move your mission forward; everything else is noise.
Own the outcome
Take full responsibility for the work. Act with initiative, solve problems proactively, and drive lasting impact as if the entire mission depends on you.
Be User Obsessed
Place the end-user at the core of every decision. Design, build, and measure success based on the real-world impact delivered to them.
Stay Curious
Technologies evolve fast. Explore, experiment, and keep your knowledge sharp.
Build for Impact
Go beyond just writing code. Build solutions that move the needle, simplify lives, or create measurable value.
Deliver, Then Refine
Move fast to deliver initial value, then refine for efficiency, reliability, and polish.
Master the 4A Feedback Loop
Give feedback that Aims to Assist and is Actionable; receive feedback with Appreciation, then thoughtfully Accept or Discard it.
Hackathons
Converting "impossible" prompts into "impressive" demos, one all-nighter at a time.

What colleagues and leaders say about working with me.
“I had the pleasure of working with Harshil during his time as an AI Engineer at Square Yards, and I was consistently impressed by his passion for AI/ML and his drive to build impactful, end-to-end AI systems. Harshil has a solid grasp of a wide range of model architectures, and more importantly, he brings a thoughtful approach to applying them in real-world scenarios. What really stood out was his ability to deeply understand a problem—not just from a technical angle, but from a business perspective as well. This balance allowed him to propose solutions that were both innovative and practical. Any team would be lucky to have him—he's the kind of engineer who not only builds models, but also helps shape the vision of what AI can do for the business.”
