About Maanasa

Engineering Scalable Systems & AI Experiences.

I am a Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area (Mountain View, CA), currently working at Google on the Search team focused on AI Mode. I build high-throughput backend services, resilient distributed architectures, and interactive, accessible web applications.

Prior to joining Google, I spent nearly three years at Kayak (Boston, MA) engineering direct airline integration pipelines in Java. My work powered real-time flight search, dynamic seat-mapping, ancillaries, luggage calculations, and booking confirmation microservices for major international airlines. I led initiatives in automated testing, observability dashboards in Kibana, and canary releases with GitHub Actions.

During my graduate studies, I interned as a Software Engineer at Amazon in Seattle, WA, where I created “Bug Bash”—an automated validation tool utilizing AWS Lambda, Node.js, and React to verify Amazon’s Choice badges and prevent merchant catalog regressions. I also worked atNokia (Raleigh, NC) developing microservices and at Adobe (Bengaluru, India) building enterprise cloud platforms.
