Harsh Verma

Harsh builds the unglamorous middle layer between AI agents and the real world.

Browsers that survive a human takeover, sandboxes that don't melt under generated code, VMs you launch with one command.

Some of it mine end-to-end; the rest months of commits deep in OSS that other people ship on.

Selected Works

Browser Handoff

2026

Open Source Project

Pause a browser automation, hand the page to a human, resume when they're done.

Streams the live browser to an operator when an agent hits login, 2FA, or payment, then resumes on a URL match, an element, or a plain-English description of “done” that a vision model watches for. Discord, Slack, and email notifiers ship in the box.

Browser Handoff

Cua

2025–2026

Open Source Contribution

Full-stack contributor to cua's open-source computer-use agent platform — SDK, cloud, and CI/CD.

Five months across the full stack: Android-on-Docker and QEMU container support, the Yutori n1 agent loop, the reusable release workflow behind every NPM and PyPI publish, plus AWS/Terraform, Modal/vLLM, and K3s persistence on the cloud side.

E2B Desktop

2025

Open Source Contribution

Open-source virtual desktop for AI computer use with VNC streaming.

Contributed the VNC streaming layer that puts a sandboxed desktop in the browser in real time — password protection, view-only mode, and single-application streaming. It is what E2B’s Surf computer-use demo runs on.

Strot

2025

Open Source Project

Reverse-engineer any website's internal API using natural language.

Captures a site’s AJAX traffic, works out its pagination and dynamic parameters, and generates extraction code that replays the internal API with full parameter control. Claude does the discovery; the output is a reusable Source, not a scraper.

SandboxJS

2025

Open Source Contribution

Unified SDK for provisioning, managing, and scripting remote sandboxes.

One TypeScript SDK over several cloud sandbox providers. Contributed custom template orchestration, cross-provider template builders, environment variable support, resilient command execution, and binary file operations.

Cillow

2025

Open Source Project

Safe execution environment for AI-generated code with patching capabilities.

Runs AI-generated code in a controlled interpreter: environment switching, automatic package installation, and runtime patches that block dangerous calls while still capturing stdout, stderr, images, and plots.

Locatr

2025

Open Source Project

Find UI elements in web applications using natural language.

Natural-language element lookup for Playwright, Selenium, and Appium, in both DOM and visual modes. Written in Go so resolving a locator never becomes the slow step in a test run.

Swiftrank

2024

Open Source Project

Ultra-fast reranking engine with CLI, API, and Python SDK.

A CPU-first reimagining of FlashRank: CLI, FastAPI server, and Python SDK over lightweight cross-encoders, with schema-driven JSON/YAML processing for low-latency retrieval pipelines.

I had to re provision my compute for our prod kubernetes cluster from scratch, and I had confidence that I'd be able to [do] that safely because Harsh was responsible for backup and recovery of etcd. Even after his departure from cua we have been relying on this contribution, and [his] insatiable desire for knowledge is sure to charm you!

I've been learning new things from Harsh since he joined AI Agent Camp in 2025. I was the instructor and I could see immediately from his assignments that he had a better understanding of the material than 99% of the students.

As his final assignment, he implemented an open source extension for E2B (the cloud sandbox provider) which added VNC support to their desktop SDK. I was repeatedly impressed by his work when (among other things) he learned TypeScript in a weekend so his extension could support both Python and TypeScript.

Harsh has shown me his ability to go deep and become expert in an area—such as AI computer use. He has now become a professional in this field, and I regularly enjoy working and brainstorming with him on courses and open source projects.
