Hi, I'm Hardik Sharma.
I build distributed systems and AI products. Currently at Microsoft, turning complex technology into experiences that feel simple.

A few things I've taken from
“what if” to the real world.

From scattered interview prep to a clear path forward. A platform I designed, built and operate solo.
Making disk space make sense. A native macOS app with an isolated scanner, local metadata and safe cleanup.
What actually happens after SELECT? A relational database built from first principles, down to the B-tree.

A camera, a model, one less lap around the block. Real-time parking availability with an Android booking app.
There's a longer story.Robots, experiments, and a few late-night ideas.

03 / The person behind the code

I've always liked taking things apart.
These days, I get to build them back better.
It started with competition robots. Then cloud platforms, developer tools, and systems spanning thousands of datacenters. Now, it's AI experiences at Microsoft's Frontier Foundry.
The throughline? I care about what happens underneath: the architecture, the edge cases, the small decisions that make something feel effortless.

Neural networks learning to fly. Rockets evolving a way around obstacles. Sometimes, the best way to understand something is to play with it.
