With more than a year of Google Trust & Safety red-teaming experience, Harsh designs prompts, edge cases, and attack scenarios that expose failures in safety guardrails across misinformation, sensitive attributes, dangerous content, manipulation, and policy-evasion risks. Harsh is particularly skilled in jailbreaking, prompt and SQL injection, vulnerability documentation, scalable evaluation automation, and data analysis. Across 38 generative-AI and LLM projects, Harsh has evaluated model outputs against AI safety and moderation policies and documented failure cases to support stronger model robustness. Previously, Harsh built production AI systems at CoverDoc and data-driven solutions for startups at RIT Venture Creations Incubator. Harsh holds a Master’s degree in Data Science from Rochester Institute of Technology and is pursuing opportunities centered on LLM red teaming, AI trust and safety, and GenAI engineering and automation. ## Services - Back-End Web Development - Google Cloud Platform \(GCP\) - Data Analytics - Workflow Automation - AWS Lambda - Prompt Engineering - M&A analysis - cProjects - Azure DevOps Services - Lead Scoring - Report Automation - Advanced Threat Analytics \(ATA\) - Job Matching - JavaScript - MLOps - GPT-4 - Job Safety Analysis - Testability - Application Deployment - Voice Search Optimization - Generative AI - Data Pipelines - Sentiment Analysis - Docker Products - Front-End Development - Reducing Operating Costs - IT Security Policies & Procedures - FastAPI - PyTorch - Data Science ## Highlights - Conducted AI red teaming across 38 generative-AI and LLM projects as a Red Team Analyst at Highspring, formerly MorganFranklin Consulting, on Google AI Trust & Safety initiatives. - Has more than one year of Google Trust & Safety experience red-teaming Gemini models. - Designed adversarial prompts and attack scenarios to probe model behavior and identify AI safety risks. - Evaluated model outputs against AI safety and moderation policies and documented failures involving misinformation, manipulation, and policy-evasion tactics. - Focuses on safety failures across misinformation, sensitive attributes, dangerous content, manipulation, and policy evasion. - Brings hands-on red-teaming capabilities in jailbreaking, prompt injection, SQL injection, vulnerability documentation, evaluation automation, and data analysis. - Built a GPT-4 and Gemini-powered job-matching pipeline at CoverDoc that improved resume-to-role alignment accuracy by 35% and reduced application time by 40%. - Designed an n8n, Firecrawl, and Hunter.io cold-outreach automation at CoverDoc that increased personalization efficiency by 60%. - Developed a FastAPI backend at CoverDoc with error handling, authentication, and rate limiting, deployed on AWS and Vercel. - Delivered data pipelines, dashboards, and analytics solutions for more than eight startups at RIT Venture Creations Incubator, supporting funding rounds of more than $2 million. - Built an OpenCV defect-detection pipeline for 3D printing at RIT Venture Creations Incubator that achieved more than 95% accuracy and cut QA time by 40%. - Developed a Hugging Face LLM lead-scoring tool that classified more than 3,000 academic papers and improved outreach precision by 30%. - Engineered automated ETL pipelines and real-time dashboards that reduced manual reporting time by 50%. - Earned a Master’s degree in Data Science from Rochester Institute of Technology. - Earned a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from SRM IST Chennai. ## Experience - **Red Team Analyst @google at Highspring \(Formerly MorganFranklin Consulting\)** (2026-01-01–present) — Conducted red teaming across 38 generative AI / LLM projects, designing adversarial prompts and attack scenarios to probe model behavior and identify AI safety risks.
