About

Software engineer with 6+ years across production AI, SaaS, geospatial systems, infrastructure and security. Most recent: founding engineer at Klarety AI. Built the production stack from scratch. Agents pull satellite data, write and run code, return real answers. Yale uses it for research. Live at klarety.ai. Two pieces of work I find most interesting from Klarety. First, evidence quality in agent traces. I built rolling context summarization, semantic relevance filtering, and a schema that keeps raw tool output separate from model inference. Query correlation up around 60%. Hallucinations down hard. Second, credential isolation for sandboxed code execution. User code runs arbitrary Python in containers and needs LLM APIs, but real API keys can never enter the sandbox. I built a network-layer proxy that intercepts outbound HTTPS and injects credentials only for whitelisted domains, so even malicious code inspecting env vars or network traffic never sees a real key. Before Klarety, two years at AiDash on Earth Observation SaaS. PostGIS optimization that helped close a $1M contract. PMTiles tiling server doing millions of requests per minute, 50% latency cut, 90% database load cut. Before that, Soroco. REST APIs, microservices on GCP, a fault detection module that cut downtime 45% on Scout. Stack: Python, TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, AWS, Docker, CI/CD. Anthropic API for LLM work. Code at github.com/harsh52.

Experience

  • Founding Software Engineer at Klarety
    Oct 2024 - Present · 1 yr 9 mos

    • LLM Development: Designed and implemented an advanced LLM system for a geospatial assistant, including rolling context summarisation, semantic relevance filtering with Sentence Transformers, and token-aware memory management-improved query correlation by 60% thus reduced hallucinations. • Designed and built a zero-trust credential isolation proxy that prevents API key leakage from sandboxed code execution environments. Credentials never enter user-facing containers - a network-layer MITM proxy intercepts outbound HTTPS and injects secrets only for whitelisted domains, reducing credential exposure surface to zero. • Developed a high-performance raster and vector tiling server with full CRUD operation support, capable of handling millions of requests per minute; optimised for superior efficiency and scalability reducing latency by 50% in high-volume geospatial data visualisation and database load by 90% through PMTiles integration. • custom XYZ tile server: Created a custom XYZ tile server with FastAPI and Rust(Martin) for scalable visualisation of raster/vector map layers. • Built and developed Klarety.AI from the ground up in a pre-seed startup, leading initial product architecture and core software.
