Hi, I'm Mani Sankar

I like building MVPs and actually getting them shipped. I’m a backend developer by trade (Java, Spring Boot, Python) with a CS degree and a love for hackathons.

My comfort zone is strictly backend: RESTful microservices, databases, and complex logic. I don't pretend to be a DevOps engineer or a frontend expert. Instead, I ship fast by deploying on PaaS like Vercel, Render, and Netlify, and I use AI tools to generate the frontend React boilerplate so I can focus on the backend heavy lifting.

I’m looking for a product-based company where I can take ownership of features end-to-end. Open to pure backend roles, or full-stack roles that are cool with an AI-assisted UI workflow. If you're building devtools, AI products, or any interesting products I'd love to chat.
