I build useful things
across systems and the web.
I’m Harsh Mukhija, an independent developer turning ideas into practical software, web experiences, Linux tooling, Android projects, and open-source systems work.

About
Curiosity turned into working projects.
Build with Harsh is the home of my technical work and learning journey.
I enjoy understanding how systems work, then turning that understanding into practical software—from responsive web experiences and desktop tools to Linux workflows and Android device projects.
This site documents completed builds, active experiments, and public open-source work—with clear status notes for each project.

Learning & growth
Progress built through practice.
Hands-on technical development
Learning through practical work across software, web development, Linux, Android, and open-source workflows.
Build, validate, document
I turn new concepts into working projects, test them against real constraints, and document what is confirmed.
