Harshit Agarwal

I am an aspiring Software Engineer (SDE-1) with a strong interest in backend and full-stack development (MERN stack), backed by hands-on industry experience as an Application Developer Intern at Caelius Consulting.

I hold an MCA from the University of Hyderabad, where I developed a solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.

During my internship, I worked with the backend and integration engineering team, contributing to the development and enhancement of 20+ RESTful APIs used to integrate 8+ internal and third-party systems. I was involved in building API flows, implementing validations, debugging integration issues, and improving system reliability across DEV and QA environments.

I developed and optimized 30+ data transformation scripts, reducing data-mapping errors by 35–40% and improving downstream data accuracy by 25%. Through extensive API testing and debugging, I helped resolve 60+ functional and data-related issues, contributing to a 20–25% reduction in API failure rates and faster testing cycles.

I also supported 10+ API deployments, gaining exposure to real production-like workflows, environment configurations, and release validations. This experience strengthened my understanding of backend request–response lifecycles, scalable system design, and enterprise-level problem solving.

Alongside my professional experience, I actively practice Data Structures & Algorithms, focusing on arrays, strings, hashing, two pointers, sliding window, stacks, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming to improve problem-solving efficiency.
