Hi, I'm Manik, an Engineering Manager with over 11 years of experience in software engineering, backend development, system design, and Generative AI. Throughout my career, I've designed and built scalable enterprise applications, led engineering teams, and delivered AI-powered solutions using LLMs, RAG, GraphRAG, Agentic AI, vector databases, and cloud technologies. My work spans conversational AI, document intelligence, requirement automation, and production-grade AI systems. I enjoy mentoring software engineers, helping professionals prepare for backend, system design, and GenAI interviews, and guiding teams on designing scalable, reliable, and maintainable architectures. Whether you're looking to transition into AI, improve your engineering skills, prepare for technical interviews, or discuss architecture and career growth, I'm here to help with practical, real-world insights gained from building enterprise-scale systems.
