Harshit Bishnoi

Full-Stack Developer

Summary

I'm a self-taught full-stack developer finishing my BCA in August 2026. I've spent the last three years shipping things — production-grade REST APIs, full-stack web apps, and automation bots that run in the wild. Most of what I build comes from wanting it to exist. A gym planner because I needed one. An exercise API because app developers had nothing decent to sync against. An open-source muscle map because I was building it anyway, so I made it public.
