Harshith is strongest in full\-stack, client\-facing AI delivery: gathering requirements, demonstrating solutions, incorporating iterative feedback, and taking projects from conception through production\. As an AI Engineer Intern at Presidio, Harshith independently managed client\-facing work through agile two\-week sprints and built a production multi\-agent workflow on Azure AI Foundry for enterprise SOW approvals and CPQ processes\. The Microsoft Teams\-accessible system used orchestration and specialized agents, a Dockerized Python/Playwright data\-extraction service, a Next\.js monitoring dashboard, and Azure Bicep infrastructure\. The automation accelerated data retrieval by 315% and reduced report\-generation and extraction workflows from roughly 10–15 minutes per SOW to under 60 seconds, with interview\-reported extraction results of under 30 seconds\. Harshith also brings experience in Android development, web\-based game development, K–12 math tutoring, and customer\-service operations\. Harshith uses Python, Playwright, Next\.js, Azure AI Foundry, MCP servers, YAML\-based infrastructure as code, GitHub, Kotlin, TypeScript, SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript\. ## Highlights - Co\-founded a stealth AI startup focused on integrating AI into education\. - Architected and deployed a production multi\-agent AI workflow in Azure AI Foundry for enterprise SOW approvals and CPQ processes during an AI Engineer Internship at Presidio\. - Built a Microsoft Teams chatbot experience in which a central orchestrator routed work to specialized agents for data retrieval, SOW extraction, and autonomous decision\-making\. - Built a Dockerized Python and Playwright scraper for high\-speed data extraction and a Next\.js dashboard for real\-time monitoring\. - Pushed the Presidio infrastructure to production using Azure Bicep\. - Accelerated data retrieval by 315% at Presidio\. - Reduced report generation from approximately 10 minutes per SOW to under 60 seconds through automation\. - Reduced SOW and CPQ extraction workflows from 10–15 minutes to under 30 seconds, as reported in Harshith’s interview\. - Independently managed client\-facing projects at Presidio through agile methodology, including requirements gathering, demos, client communication, and iterative feedback incorporation\. - Worked in agile two\-week sprints and owned projects from conception through production\. - Recovered from a major Azure project setback by applying infrastructure\-as\-code and version\-control practices, including YAML and GitHub\. - Built and deployed agentic workflows using orchestration and manager agents\. - Developed Android applications from initial concept through final release as a Software Developer Intern at the South Asian Business Council of Virginia\. - Used Kotlin and prompt\-engineering strategies to build user\-friendly Android experiences and integrate AI into development workflows\. - Led frontend and backend collaboration at Blaze Poker to create a multiplayer web\-based poker game using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and SQL\. - Provides K–12 math tutoring at Sylvan Learning Centers, including personalized homework support and SAT, ACT, and SOL test preparation\. - Prepared donuts, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, and milkshakes and maintained workspace cleanliness at Duck Donuts\. - Is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity Engineering at George Mason University, with a minor in Information Technology\. - Completed Computer Science coursework at John Champe High School and CyberSecurity, DE Cisco I–IV at Academies of Loudoun\. ## Experience - **Lead Math Tutor at Sylvan Learning Centers** (2025\-02\-01–present) — As a Lead Math Tutor, I provided comprehensive academic support and mentorship to K\-12 students across a wide range of mathematical subjects\. I specialized in delivering personalized homework assistance and targeted test preparation for the SAT, ACT, and SOL exams\. By adapting my instructional methods to each student's unique needs, I helped them build foundational math skills, develop effective test\-taking strategies, and significantly improve their academic performance and confidence\. - **Co\-Founder at Stealth AI Startup** (2024\-07\-01–present) — Integrating AI into Education - **AI Engineer Intern at Presidio** (2026\-06\-01–2026\-08\-01) — During my internship, I architected and deployed a multi\-agent AI workflow using Azure AI Foundry to automate SOW approvals and CPQ processes for an enterprise client\. Accessible via a Microsoft Teams chatbot, the system utilized a central orchestrator to route tasks across specialized agents for data retrieval, SOW extraction, and autonomous decision\-making\. I supported this by building a Dockerized Python/Playwright scraper for high\-speed data extraction and a Next\.js dashboard for real\-time monitoring\. I successfully pushed the entire infrastructure into production using Azure Bicep, which accelerated data retrieval by 315% and reducing report generation time from ~10 minutes per SOW to under 60 seconds\. - **Software Developer Internship at South Asian Business Council of Virginia** (2025\-06\-01–2025\-08\-01) — Working in a fast\-paced team environment, I collaborated on the design, development, and deployment of Android applications from initial concept through final release following a agile methodology\. Utilizing Kotlin and modern development tools, I built intuitive, user\-friendly mobile experiences while leveraging prompt engineering strategies to seamlessly integrate AI functionalities into our development workflows\. - **Lead Project Manager at Blaze Poker** (2024\-05\-01–2025\-05\-01) — Assumed leadership responsibility while contributing with my colleagues between the frontend sector \(HTML, CSS, and JSS\) and the backend sector \(Typescript, Python, and SQL\) to create a multiplayer web\-based poker game\. - **Employee at Duck Donuts** (2023\-09\-01–2024\-03\-01) — Assumed responsibility of preparing and topping donuts crafting sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, milkshakes and, maintaining cleanliness in the work area not only to create a suitable environment for my colleagues but also at enhancing the customer experience for our consumers\. ## Education - Bachelor's degree, Cybersecurity Engineering — George Mason University (2024\-08\-01–2027\-05\-01) - CyberSecurity, DE Cisco I \- IV — Academies of Loudoun (2022\-08\-01–2024\-06\-01) - Computer Science — John Champe High School (2020\-08\-01–2024\-06\-01) ## FAQ ### What does Harshith do now?
