👋 Hey! I'm Harshitha
A full-stack engineer with roots in UX.
I crossed over from UX to engineering early enough that I still think in both languages. Now I build full-stack products, the kind where someone has to care about how it feels, not just how it works.
/ About
Design kid turned engineer.
I started in UX, and never fully left.
One career pivot later, I went all-in on systems and spent two years building things end-to-end as a solo founder. That experience taught me how to own a product, manage clients, and build for real users without overengineering.
Now I'm at Document IT in Bengaluru. I still approach work with a designer's brain and a generalist's chaos-immunity.

Non-linear Career Trail (hover to see more info.)
- 2020
First proper design gig. Coffee chain ordering flows. Learned competitive analysis, user research, and how to actually design for people.
Quietly switched sides. Learnt how to translate a design into a working UI, and how to use React to do it efficiently. Built customer-facing features for a warehouse management system.
First time wearing both hats on the same product. Designed a screen in the morning, and worked on code for it in the afternoon.
- 2022
Went back to school. Got serious about systems and mobile apps, a lot of project-based learning. Came out a better engineer with more ground covered.
- 2023
First real US software role. Remote, async, time zones. Learned how to ship without anyone hovering. Took more ownership and got used to loose requirements.
- 2025
Two years of solo client work. Scoping, contracts, design, build, deployment. No one to delegate to. Shipped things real users opened, and figured out how to communicate along the way.
- Now
Back in a team, back in Bengaluru. Full-stack work on multiple SaaS products. Still think like someone who's worn every hat - usually the useful part.
/ Work
Four projects that actually shipped. Real products, real users, real bug reports. The links go to the live thing.
SuccessBaba
UX, Landing Page, and a conversational AI advisor for Business Direction Guide. Streaming replies token-by-token, conversation memory, and structured advice on business plans based on astrology. Built the Gemini integration, SSE pipeline, and the entire Next.js app.
Potebaki

European Client SaaS Migration
Solo-engineered the Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 migration of a full production SaaS. Feature flags at every step, both versions live in parallel during cutover. 35% ahead of schedule, zero downtime.

NODORI TECH · EST. 2023
Two years of solo client work across India, the USA + Europe.
From 2023 to 2025, I handled scoping, contracts, design, development, and deployment. No PM, no design partner, no safety net. The name lives on with a small body of work behind it.
