About
Hardik Verma, third-year Software Engineering (Honours) at UNSW. I build and ship products:
SportLogic Play on the App Store and Google Play, and the software on Sunswift's SR8.
With Medibank, through UNSW's industry project, I proposed Maddy: an AI agent that helps an
international student compare, understand and buy Overseas Student Health Cover in one place.
In SENG2021 I built CoolCoolCool's architecture, its order and invoice APIs, its frontend and an
MCP server so an AI assistant can place orders on a buyer's behalf. I direct coding agents at
scale and read what they write. Australian citizen, Sydney.
