About Me

Hi, I'm Shankar Hariharan đź‘‹

I'm a software engineer at Siemens Healthineers, working in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) segment. I write scanner-side software for myExam Companion — the layer that lives on the MRI system and helps exams run with less friction and a clearer workflow.

Most of that work is backend: services, data, and the glue that keeps scanner software reliable. A current thread through it is folding agentic LLM capabilities into applications that already have years of product history, rather than starting from a blank repo.

Primary tech stack

This is the stack I use most days at work — mostly backend systems: cloud services, APIs, and data. Desktop UI and complementary frontend work show up when the scanner needs them. Agentic LLM engineering here means landing agents inside those existing applications, not building demos on the side.

  • Azure
  • .NET
  • ASP.NET
  • Agentic LLM engineering
  • PostgreSQL
  • Avalonia
  • WPF
  • Frontend frameworks

Domain topics

These are the subjects I can go deep on: how MRI exams actually run, how medical images are produced and used, and the computer vision around them.

  • MRI
  • Medical imaging
  • Computer vision

Personal projects & exploration

Outside work I like building things end to end — agents, web apps, and small hardware sitting on a desk. Raspberry Pi projects and 3D printing are how a lot of those ideas leave the screen.

  • Agentic LLM engineering
  • Python
  • React
  • Astro
  • Raspberry Pi
  • 3D printing

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering.
