👋 Hi, I’m Manas

I build things, usually starting from a problem that feels slightly annoying or broken in the real world 🧩

While my background is in software engineering, what keeps me interested is using programming as a way to solve real user problems, explore trade-offs, and understand what makes a product actually useful.


🧠 Background (brief)

  • Aspiring Product Manager
  • 💻 Software Engineer at SAP (AirGapped Cloud/Soverign Cloud)
  • 🌐 Google Summer of Code twice with fedora and ciru (Selected from ten's of thousands of applicants)
  • 🤝 Active in open-source communities and student tech programs(used to be a Github Campus expert for my region)

Working on production systems and open-source projects taught me that code is rarely the hardest part — understanding users, constraints, and priorities usually is.

I enjoy the space's where product decisions shape technical choices, and technical realities inform product direction.


🧪 What’s in This GitHub

This profile is a mix of:

  • 🧩 Experiments and prototypes built around specific problems
  • 🤖 AI / ML work with real-world constraints
  • 🛠️ Tools designed to reduce friction for users or developers
  • 📝 Projects that began as questions rather than feature lists

Most of this is learning in public.


🌱 Interests Lately

  • 🗺️ Navigation, maps, and safety-related problems(writing a paper on a better nav algo)
  • ♿ Offline-first AI Applications that are accessibility-aware
  • ⚙️ Practical AI systems under real-world constraints

🌍 Outside Code

I enjoy rethinking existing products especially—by designing clearer product flows and more intuitive customer journeys than what exists today. Outside of work, I organize hackathons, contribute to open source, and explore interests in aviation, SIGINT/ELINT, and diy'ing electronics.


If something here is useful or sparks a conversation, feel free to reach out 🙂

🎯 What I’m Looking For

I’m actively pursuing Associate Product Manager roles where I can:

  • Learn from experienced PMs
  • Own scoped problem areas
  • Work closely with design & engineering
  • Grow into end-to-end product ownership

Long-term goal: build impactful products at scale.


📬 Let’s Connect

  • 💼 LinkedIn
  • 🤝 Always happy to discuss product ideas, PM journeys, or collaborate

Learning fast, listening deeply, and shipping thoughtfully.
