Hi, I'm Manas
Building intelligent systems at the intersection of AI and modern web development

AI Engineer & Developer
Who I Am
Building the Future with AI
I'm a Computer Science graduate student at Pace University with a deep passion for AI engineering and full-stack development. I build intelligent, scalable applications that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world product solutions — from RAG pipelines and LLM orchestration to production-ready MERN applications.
I transitioned from Mechanical Engineering to Computer Science, bringing a systems-thinking mindset to software. I've shipped production applications, won a hackathon, and I'm actively building expertise in RAG architectures and LangChain pipelines.

- Led and mentored a team of 7 quality inspectors across 2 production lines, maintaining 90%+ quality compliance and cutting product defect rates by 20% within the first quarter.
- Designed and executed 50+ cross-departmental audits per year, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions that reduced rework costs by ~35% and improved on-time delivery to 95%.
- Streamlined inspection workflows by introducing standardized checklists and digital reporting, cutting inspection cycle time by 30% and eliminating documentation errors across 3 departments.
- Collaborated directly with production, procurement, and client-facing teams to resolve 100+ quality escalations, driving measurable improvements in client satisfaction scores.
What I've Built
Production-grade applications — from hackathon wins to full pharmacy management systems
Adaptus – Adaptive Learning Assistant
🏆 1st Runner-Up | Pace University × MemVerge Hackathon
November 2025An award-winning AI-powered adaptive study platform that intelligently selects the most suitable LLM from three providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI — based on the learner's history, performance, and topic complexity. Built in 24 hours at the Pace University × MemVerge Hackathon.
- Engineered a dynamic LLM routing engine using Python FastAPI and a modular provider architecture that benchmarks OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini in real-time, selecting the best model per query.
- Built a persistent learner memory system using MemMachine (MemVerge's memory-as-a-service platform) that stores user performance, topic mastery, and lesson preferences across sessions — enabling truly personalized learning.
- Designed RESTful APIs with full CORS configuration and an interactive HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend that delivers adaptive lessons, real-time feedback, and dynamic difficulty scaling.
- Increased lesson relevance across repeat sessions by ~40% through persistent context injection, and reduced LLM provider experimentation overhead by 60% with a modular swap architecture.
- Demonstrated live to 100+ attendees and judges from MemVerge, securing 1st Runner-Up for innovation in AI memory integration.
PharmaXpert
Full-Stack Pharmacy Management System
May 2024 – June 2024A comprehensive full-stack MERN pharmacy management system built to automate the end-to-end operations of a modern pharmacy — from real-time inventory tracking to prescription management, sales reporting, and secure staff authentication. Eliminated the pharmacy's manual paper-based workflows entirely.
- Built a real-time inventory management module with low-stock alerts, batch tracking, expiry date monitoring, and automated reorder suggestions — reducing stockout incidents and improving medication availability.
- Developed a prescription management system that digitizes patient records, links prescriptions to inventory, tracks dispensing history, and generates audit trails — streamlining pharmacist workflows and reducing errors.
- Implemented a sales and revenue tracking dashboard with daily/weekly/monthly reporting, supporting 5,000+ transactions with data export capability for financial reconciliation.
- Built secure JWT-based role authentication with separate access levels for pharmacists and administrators, protecting sensitive patient and prescription data.
- Automated core pharmacy workflows end-to-end, reducing manual operational effort by ~60% and enabling the pharmacy to scale without proportional staff increases.
Momentify
Full-Stack Memory Archive Application
December 2025A feature-rich full-stack MERN application designed to preserve personal memories in a beautifully structured digital archive. Users can create memory entries with rich text descriptions, tag friends, attach up to 10 high-resolution images per memory, and browse their timeline.
- Architected and built 8+ RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js for full CRUD operations on memory entries — including create, retrieve by date/tag/friend, update captions, and soft-delete with restore.
- Integrated Cloudinary's media management API for scalable, optimized image storage, achieving 100% separation of binary assets from MongoDB — eliminating base64 bloat and reducing DB query times by ~35%.
- Designed a responsive React.js frontend with infinite scroll, tag-based filtering, and an immersive full-screen image gallery viewer — delivering a polished user experience across mobile and desktop.
- Implemented JWT-based secure authentication with bcrypt password hashing, protecting all user data and enabling multi-user support with private memory collections.
- Deployed on Vercel with environment-based config, supporting concurrent users with zero downtime.
