🚀 High-Performance Document Infrastructure

Hi, I'm Harsh! 👋

I am an independent architect focused on building professional-grade tools for the global developer community.

📈 The Flagship: officeParser

Since 2019, I have been the sole architect of officeParser. Originally built as a simple text extraction tool, it has evolved this year with the v6 release into a sophisticated AST engine, providing strictly-typed, hierarchical data for industrial-scale document processing.

With over 10 million total downloads and 260,000+ weekly installations, my focus is on ensuring this project remains the most stable and resource-efficient choice for developers worldwide.

🛠️ Other Projects

Along with officeParser, I develop and maintain a suite of open-source utilities designed to solve real-world development friction:

  • inscript: A "plug and play" Markdown CMS for blog management.
  • viewcounter: A lightweight analytics server for privacy-first tracking.
  • vanillautils: A modular, zero-dependency JS utility library.

🧩 Workflow Extensions

I also build niche browser tools to optimize daily productivity:

  • defaultAmazonSort: Custom search result sorting for Amazon.
  • jiraHelper: Advanced utility enhancements for Jira users.

Why sponsor me?
Your support directly fuels the maintenance of this independent ecosystem. It allows me to dedicate more time to the performance research and community stability of the open-source infrastructure you trust every day.
