I'm Harsh Upadhyay.

About

My journey has taken me across different places, cultures, and experiences that have shaped the way I see the world today. I was born in Rajasthan, India, and later moved to the United Arab Emirates, where I spent my childhood and completed my schooling. Growing up in different environments gave me the chance to experience different perspectives from an early age, and taught me to stay curious, embrace change, and always remain open to learning from the world around me.


Moving to Canada brought me to McMaster University, where I am now completing my undergraduate degree in Computer Science. During my time here, I have discovered a deep passion for research, artificial intelligence, and the process of turning curiosity into something meaningful. Through academic work at McMaster University and OCAD University, I have had the opportunity to explore areas such as AI, machine learning, and language, experiences that have made me want to continue learning and eventually pursue graduate studies.


Alongside academia, my two roles with the Government of Ontario have given me the opportunity to see technology from a different perspective and understand what it means to build solutions that people can actually rely on. Across everything I do, I find myself coming back to the same things that have always mattered to me: staying curious, learning something new, building things I care about, and using technology to create something that can genuinely help people.

April 2026: “Keep shipping. Keep learning.”
