Harsh Agrawal is a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic with 13 years of engineering and research experience building AI systems that use computers the way humans do. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and previously did ML research at Apple and Vercept, plus research internships at Google, NVIDIA, and Facebook AI. Harsh has strong full-stack and operational chops—he helped design and maintain EvalAI, an open-source challenge platform with thousands of contributors, millions of annual pageviews, and wide community adoption—bringing reproducibility and monitoring best practices to AI research. His background spans computer vision and language, distributed cloud infrastructure, and production-ready model tooling, rooted in long-term open-source stewardship from CloudCV to EvalAI. Based in Seattle, he combines academic rigor with hands-on DevOps and backend engineering, often focusing on authentication, metrics, and reliable integrations that quietly keep complex systems running. Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges research and production, making ML experiments repeatable and observable at scale.
