About

Hi, I'm Manikandan, a Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Bangalore. I've led a migration of legacy Java Struts applications to Spring Boot, built high-throughput microservices, and automated CI/CD pipelines. I'm strong in microservices architecture, REST API design, and AI-assisted development workflows, and I ship production-grade side projects on my own.
