About Manash Ranjan Khamari

15+ years of building things that scale.I\'m a Principal Engineer at Arcesium, where I work at the intersection of complex financial systems and emerging technology. Some of the impact-driven work I\'ve been part of:→ Partnered with 10+ cross-functional teams to rebuild a high-traffic landing page, driving 30% growth in organic traffic while ensuring above-the-fold content prioritization and actionable data placement for end users.→ Migrated a critical wire transfer application from on-premise infrastructure to Kubernetes, enabling horizontal autoscaling and significantly reducing deployment overhead and operational risk.→ Offloaded compute-heavy background jobs to KEDA for a Tax application, resulting in a 25% reduction in infrastructure costs by scaling workers to zero during idle periods.Currently exploring agentic AI integration within the financial services ecosystem, identifying opportunities to automate complex workflows and reduce manual intervention across critical business processes.Over the years, I\'ve worn many hats as a developer, tech lead, and architect across some of India\'s most recognized product companies: Flipkart, Quikr, and Movoto (one of the top real estate platforms in the US). What\'s stayed constant is my obsession with building products that are fast, reliable, and built to last.What I bring to the table:Full-stack depth across Node.js, React.js, Vue.js, JavaScript, Python, Java, Kotlin paired with strong cloud and infrastructure experience on AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Athena, ELB). I\'ve worked extensively with MongoDB, MySQL, MSSQL, ELK Stack, Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX, Firebase, and I take web performance and SEO seriously, not as afterthoughts, but as core product metrics.A few things I\'ve shipped that I\'m proud of:→ Led the full engineering ecosystem around movoto.com, from microservices architecture to frontend performance to SEO strategy.→ Built Quikr\'s Real Estate vertical from the ground up.→ Contributed to Flipkart\'s checkout platform through their first Big Billion Day.→ Integrated a full payment gateway and EMI/subscription feature at Impelsys, earning Employee of the Quarter.What drives me:I believe the best engineers never stop being curious. I pick up something new every day. Right now, that\'s generative AI, agentic systems, and how LLMs can meaningfully change the way we build software.Reach me at m••••••@outlook.com |@thisismanashk
