About me
Hey there, I'm Harshay Narayan, a software engineer based in India.
I'm all about creating digital experiences that put humans first. Whether it's a slick UI or a cutting-edge app, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make technology more accessible and intuitive.
My goal is always to create digital experiences that feel intuitive, human-centric, and just plain awesome. I've been working professionally for 3 few years now, and I've had the chance to work on a wide range of projects. Some of my favorite work has been in the realm of Frontend Development - there's something incredibly satisfying about creating a seamless, user-friendly interface that just clicks.Would you like to work together or just chat? Feel free to reach out to me.
