Solutions Engineer · New York City
Pranjal Manchanda
I love looking at complex problems,
understanding them deeply, and then
breaking them down into simple solutions.
Designing cloud setups that are reliable, secure, and easy to reason about.
Following data from where it's created to where it's actually useful.
Figuring out what it takes to move models and agents from demos to production.
Zooming out to see how the pieces connect, and where they break. I've spent most of my career working on exactly that.
I'm based in NYC, where I spend my time reading, building things, staying active, and finding excuses to get great people together. I love organizing movie nights, park hangs, bike rides, and whatever else gets my different groups of friends in the same room.
My biggest flex is that all of my friends are now friends with each other.
Outside of that, I'm usually playing sports, volunteering, or pretending to meditate :)
the small things that make me, me.

Quarters
NYC's largest personal development book club. One theme a quarter, one book a month, and real get-togethers to talk, try things, and meet people.
Currently learning
The AI stack
From models and agents to the data infrastructure and systems that make them useful in production.
Weekends
Reading, working out, building things, and playing sports with friends.
Favorite places in NYC

There are so many fun and unique things to do for free. Just recently, I learned shibori, basket-weaving, and hapa zome!
