harsh@arch:~$ whoami --verbose
➜  EE undergrad @ NIT Hamirpur                 # '24 → '28
➜  I live one layer below the app             # firmware, CLIs, build tooling, CI
➜  Daily driver: Arch Linux                   # VS Code + a terminal that never closes
➜  Currently: turning STM32CubeIDE pain       # ...into a 4 MB Rust binary

🛰️  What I'm into

  • Embedded systems & PCB / power design
  • Developer tooling that's CLI-first & diffable
  • CI/CD automation across GitHub & GitLab
  • Real-time tracing, HALs, code-gen

⚡  Right now

  • Building Nucleus — a modern STM32 platform in Rust
  • Building SparkIDE — block-based Arduino IDE
  • Writing tests for GIMP & fixing GNOME CI

$ cat ./flagship_builds/*

◢ Nucleus  ·  a modern STM32 developer platform

Not an IDE replacement. A developer platform.

STM32CubeIDE locks embedded devs into a 2 GB Eclipse fork, a click-through pin GUI, and opaque XML you can't diff or run in CI. Nucleus replaces both lock-ins with a 4 MB Rust CLI and a VS Code extension:

  • 🧩  Declarative stm32.toml — version-controllable, CI-friendly hardware config
  • 🧮  Pinmux compiler + constraint solver instead of a point-and-click GUI
  • 📡  ITM trace daemon — real-time debug without a $600 Segger license
  • 🦀  Rust core · TypeScript + React extension · LSP-powered editor UX


 
# stm32.toml — diffable hardware
[chip]
mcu = "STM32F411CEU6"

[pin.PA5]
mode  = "output"
label = "led"

[trace]
itm  = true   # real-time ITM
baud = 2_000_000

◢ SparkIDE  ·  Arduino, without the cliff

// snap blocks → get this C++
void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  delay(500);
}

Scratch-like blocks → real Arduino C++ → flashed to your board, in one click.

A lightweight, native PyQt6 desktop IDE that wraps Google Blockly in a maker-lab shell so beginners on Linux can learn embedded the friendly way:

  • 🧱  50+ custom blocks covering the full standard Arduino library
  • 👁️  Live C++ generation — watch code write itself as you snap blocks
  • 🔌  Board discovery, one-click compile & flash via arduino-cli
  • 🟢  Offline Blockly via QtWebEngine · phosphor-green lab console UI

Active contributor to GNOME (GitLab @harshverma) — building the kind of unglamorous infra that keeps big projects honest.

Project Contribution Impact
GIMP Built a commit-checking-framework from scratch for MR events All commits are now getting checked for titles and description patterns, uniformity increased.
BABL · GEGL Fixed CI flaw spawning duplicate pipelines on every commit Cut runner resource usage by ~50%
GIMP Replaced weighted blur with Gaussian-distributed kernels Sharper, spec-aligned blur strength
