Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaurav Manchanda is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building web platforms and cloud-native systems. He brings deep Ruby on Rails expertise alongside strong DevOps skills—Docker, CI/CD, TDD, and AWS—while also having worked across PHP, Python, Node-ish stacks and datastores like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis. His career spans senior and leadership roles at firms including ThoughtWorks, McKinsey & Company, Xebia, and Vinsol, where he moved from hands-on development to technical leadership and product delivery. Now leading Kompressr, he blends pragmatic engineering with entrepreneurial drive and is exploring Go, Crystal, and Elixir/Phoenix to evolve tooling and small utilities. Colocated in Gurugram, he’s as comfortable architecting scalable backends as iterating on frontend polish, and often brings practical multi-language solutions to complex integration problems.
