Hardik Shrestha

Developer. Sustainability advocate. HBA & CS student.

I am Hardik Shrestha.

I turn ambiguous work into sharp products: AI workflow tools, decision surfaces, public demos, and source-backed artifacts that people can actually inspect.

About

Technical depth with business judgment.

I am pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Business Administration at Western University and Ivey Business School.

cGPA: 3.9/4.0. Dean's Honour List. Wellington Financial LP Award in Technology Evaluation.

My work sits at the intersection of software, product thinking, AI workflows, finance operations, sustainability, and human review.

Outside the build queue, I study chess, read and write poetry, and train.

Flagship work

Four best signals, then the depth archive.

Decision support

BioScript Workflow Prototype

A public-safe decision-support demo that shows how messy healthcare-adjacent context becomes criteria, tradeoffs, and handoff notes without exposing private workflow details.

Why it leads
It shows product judgment, controlled disclosure, domain empathy, and working software in one artifact.
Look for
Clear decision framing, reviewable rationale, and a tight public boundary.
AI governance

Agent Permission Review Console

A least-privilege review surface for agent access, built around request scope, approval state, and human-readable control checks.

Source-only proof for now: built to show why agent permissions need a review trail before teams trust automation.

RequestRiskApproval
Product venture

Picture This

Educational storytelling game work with product, manufacturing, distribution, and investment signals instead of another software-only demo.

GameMarketBuild
Computer vision

Wacky Chess Vision

A chess-and-vision project that makes the technical range more obvious: perception, game state, and a domain Hardik actually cares about.
