I'm Paul Harrison.
I build software. Lately, it talks back.

Computer Science @ Michigan | AI + SWE + Security

I design and ship full-stack products across modern web stacks and cloud infrastructure. My recent work spans voice agents, LLM pipelines, Vue + TypeScript frontends, FastAPI services, and agentic systems — built with a focus on reliability, performance, and strong engineering fundamentals.

About Me

Get to know me

I'm Paul Harrison, a Software Engineering-focused Computer Science student at the University of Michigan. I enjoy building production-minded systems where clean architecture, strong UX, and measurable impact all matter.

From backend APIs and data workflows to frontend product experiences, I like owning features end-to-end. I care about pragmatic engineering: writing maintainable code, validating with real users, and continuously improving performance and reliability.
Feel free to contact me here.
