Hi! I'm Girik Manchanda

My journey into software development began in 2016, and I've been fascinated with the blend of problem-solving and creativity ever since. Over the years, I've tackled real-world challenges—such as winning hackathons by building intuitive dashboards and leading IT initiatives at my high school—and later put my skills to work as a developer at Arizona State University, where I've helped architect complex web-based platforms from the ground up.

I'm currently studying Computer Science with a focus on software engineering, and in the process, I've immersed myself in everything from Django and Python to frontend technologies like React and Vue. My favorite part of the job is transforming ambitious ideas into user-friendly applications that make a tangible difference.

When I step away from the keyboard, you'll most likely find me stamping my passport in a new country or playing squash to stay active. That sense of adventure—whether it's exploring new places or experimenting with innovative tech—keeps me motivated, curious, and constantly learning. Through it all, I remain driven to build solutions that not only work well, but feel effortless and enjoyable to use.
