About Manojkumar Gangadharan

I am a Senior Software Engineer with deep experience in backend systems, cloud-native architectures, and large-scale enterprise platforms. I specialize in building scalable, reliable solutions on AWS, aligning technical execution with business impact.Over the last few years, I have expanded my focus to applied AI, using AI-assisted development and automation to improve engineering productivity, system design, and operational efficiency. My approach to AI is practical and outcome-driven—leveraging it as a force multiplier rather than a buzzword.My core strengths include backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data-driven systems, complemented by hands-on use of AI tools for code acceleration, documentation, troubleshooting, and workflow automation. I believe AI is not replacing engineers—it is raising the bar, and I actively adapt to stay ahead.Technical Experience Backend engineer experienced in designing, developing, and deploying scalable applications, including real-time APIs and batch-driven systems. Strong expertise in AWS services: Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SNS, DynamoDB, RDS, Step Functions, AWS Batch, Route 53, CloudWatch, and EC2. Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins. Extensive backend development experience with Python, Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript, building serverless and microservice-based architectures. Data engineering and analytics experience using Snowflake and Databricks to build and optimize cloud data pipelines. Proficient in SQL (Oracle, MySQL), NoSQL (DynamoDB), and data warehouse design and optimization. Practical experience with AI-assisted software development, prompt engineering, and intelligent automation to enhance delivery speed and quality.Leadership & Collaboration Experience managing and mentoring teams of up to 15 members across onsite and offshore models. Strong project planning and execution skills, including migrations and production releases using lean metrics. Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders in SAFe Agile environments. Focused on transparency, continuous improvement, and building high-trust engineering teams.
