AWS Community Builder
2021 – present
Selected five consecutive years (2021 to 2026) as an AWS Community Builder in the Serverless category. Focused on technical content around AWS, serverless apps, developer experience, and local cloud development.
Hi, I'm Harsh
Polyglot engineer who likes building things, writing them down, and sticking around for the people on the other side.
Harsh Mishra
Engineer. I write, ship, and speak.
Senior DevRel Engineer at LocalStack
Darjeeling ↔ Bangalore 🇮🇳
I currently work at LocalStack, and I've been programming for about as long as I can remember being one. I tend to follow whatever language or stack a problem actually wants, rather than getting too attached to any one of them.
Most of my work lives at the seam between code and writing: shipping things, then explaining them so the next person can actually use them. That looks like a lot of different things on any given week.
Some days it's documentation, some days it's a demo, sometimes it's standing on a stage. Often it's just answering the same question on Slack for the tenth time without making the asker feel silly for asking.
The piece I keep coming back for is the people. The engineer who finally gets their setup working at midnight. The reader who finds a blog post and stops being stuck. Everything else is just scaffolding around that.
Currently available for: OSS collaborations, speaking engagements, and AI engineering opportunities. If you're working on something at the intersection of developer tools, cloud, or agents, I'd be curious to learn more about it.
What I Build & Explore
Four corners I keep ending up in.
Developer Tooling
CLIs, SDKs, GitHub Actions, and the small sharp things that save engineers a long detour through stale docs.
Cloud & DevOps
AWS-shaped serverless, local cloud emulation, CI pipelines, and the plumbing that keeps deployments boring.
AI & Agents
MCP servers, agent-driven workflows & tooling, and the line between hype and something that actually works.
Open Source Community
Meetups, community building, and support for those who are just starting out. The work that compounds quietly.
Worked & collaborated with
Companies and communities that have shaped what I do, in roughly the order they came along.
Recognition
A few programs and people that have taken the time to acknowledge my work.

Books I'm in, photos I've kept, and a few things that don't make it onto the resume.
