Hi, I’m Harsh Badagandi. I’m a final-year Computer Engineering student at VIT Pune, with a strong interest in Java and Spring Boot backend development. I’ve recently started exploring open source and am eager to get involved. I’ve interned at a few organizations, including The Bank of New York, where I gained hands-on experience in real-world software development. I came across OpenELIS Global and found its work really meaningful, especially how it helps public health labs manage data and improve workflows. I’d love to start contributing and learn more about the project.
