Resume
Harihar Thapa
Frontier AI systems builder with AWS networking/security support experience, frontend implementation ability, and a self-directed prototype called Sanshar for studying event-driven agents, multimodal surfaces, proof loops, and human-in-the-loop autonomy.
Snapshot
Plano, TX · H-1B · open to relocation. I work at the intersection of cloud operations, network/security debugging, applied AI systems, and human-facing prototypes.

Core Strengths
Prototype-to-Eval Discipline
Manager-Agent-Verifier packets, source packets, expected-vs-observed metrics, read-back contracts, replay artifacts, and reason-coded failures.
Operational Grounding
AWS Support Engineer across VPC, Route 53, WAF, Shield, and Network Firewall, with packet/path reasoning and production constraints.
Selected AI Systems Projects
These are current self-directed projects, framed as prototypes and learning systems rather than production claims.
Sanshar Swarm
Event-driven multi-agent testbed using Discord surfaces, local machines, source packets, permission gates, verifier loops, and proof artifacts.
Dynamic Attention
Runtime policy for choosing when to observe, probe, summarize, ask, act, escalate, reticket, or ignore noise.
Voice, Vision, Chess
Multimodal workflows around STT/language routing, image context, validated chess state, coach/judge loops, replay, and confidence scoring.
Portfolio Infrastructure
Public website with TLS, rate limiting, security headers, scanner hardening, request-gated repo access, and privacy-light counters.
Experience
AWS Support Engineer — VPC / Route 53 / WAF / Shield / Network Firewall
Support customer cases across AWS networking and security services; translate ambiguous symptoms into packet/path hypotheses, DNS/routing/firewall checks, repeatable troubleshooting steps, and clear communication.
Self-Directed AI Systems Development
Personal frontier-AI prototypes including Sanshar Swarm, dynamic attention and zoom policy, multimodal surfaces, chess and vision AI, and proof-first agent workflows.
Network Administrator — Montrose Hospital
Supported hospital network operations across users, servers, wireless, endpoints, and infrastructure where uptime, privacy, change risk, and escalation clarity mattered.
Teaching Assistant — Network and System Design, University of New Haven
Helped design and support networking/systems labs across routing, switching, firewalls, VMware, Windows Server, Unix/Linux, DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, backups, and recovery.
Network Engineer / Associate Broadcast Engineer — Dish Media Network, Nepal
Designed and supported Wi-Fi, routing/switching, VPN/IPsec, Linux/web infrastructure, network security controls, and live broadcast systems with high uptime requirements.
