Hi, I'm Harish.

I'm a technical builder and philosophy enthusiast at Duke.

I believe talent is the #1 indication of a company's success. I've built Altruato to help R&D companies find technical researchers, and am currently working on dynamic EKGs to understand inter and intra-company talent. LLMs are the key to unlocking the relationships within this data, and thus I also conduct research on LLM reasoning at the Duke NLP Lab.

I'm also deeply interested in AI safety and the governance of automated systems. I recently co-authored a paper on Governing Automated Strategic Intelligence, discussing how multimodal foundation models will impact military and economic intelligence capabilities, and the implications for nation-state competitiveness.

In my free time, I love to play chess, tennis, and read dystopian literature.

I don't see youth as a barrier; I started my first company at 15, and was the first-ever high schooler to intern at Samsung. If you are a young builder with evidence-backed ambition, I'd love to have a chat and I'll do what I can to connect you to the experience and resources you need.

Always open to chatting with interesting people: reach out at harishc2048 [at] gmail [dot] com.
