I'm a passionate programmer and an information security enthusiast who loves to develop efficient and robust software. I am extremely flexible with technology stack and enjoy developing software for varied platforms.
I feel delighted to develop software as a hobby, as a profession and for academic purposes. So far I have hands-on experience in developing web, mobile and desktop applications using multiple technology stacks. I have also programmed some command line utilities.
My background is in Computer Science. I possess strong knowledge of Data Structures, Algorithms and other CS fundamentals and have a keen interest in Information Security, Software Testing and Entrepreneurship.
I also like Github-ing, competitive programming, taking MOOC courses, beta testing, reading technical blogs, having a strong online presence and attending seminars, workshops etc.

Praharsh means: "one who has transcended normal sorrows and reached the eternal state
of bliss."
Or more simply put: "harsh (in Hindi) means happiness; Praharsh
means something more than happiness!"
That certainly is my life's goal- To
be happy and keep those around me happy.
I do not know whether a person's
name correlates to their personality, but in my case, it truly reflects my jolly
and friendly nature.
I was born and raised in Indore, India.
People and food, both have great flavors
here. Consequently, I mix well with people and love spicy food.
Being an Indian, flexibility and diversity is embedded deep into my DNA!
I enjoy the beauty of simplicity. Anything that is short, simple and effective,
impresses me.
I am convinced with the fact that - "Change is the only thing that is constant"
and have a strong belief that the ultimate aim of every human effort is to make
the world a better place to live.
"In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence
is simplicity."
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I am very grateful to have been blessed with a wonderful and supportive family. To
further add to life, I have a huge (and ongoing) list of lifelong friends from
diverse backgrounds.
Although family and friends add colors to the canvas of life, one can not
learn to paint without a teacher. I feel rewarded to receive supervision and
guidance from great teachers and mentors.
I want to thank my friends, family, teachers and all the people who have
played (and will play) a part in my life experience.
"What is most important
almost always involves the people around us."
– Thomas S. Monson
I am influenced by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam the most.
The reason he is my idol is his simplicity, humbleness, expertise and the hard work he has put in throughout his life.
The passion to share knowledge was Dr. Kalam's hallmark.
Dennis Ritchie, Linus Torvalds
and Tim Berners-Lee (to name a few) have inspired the programmer in me.
As an android power user, I admire the works of Koushik Dutta.
My vision for life is very similar to this.
"Code is poetry."
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear."
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
