About

Manish Kumar

I'm a software engineer in India. I currently work at Tru, mostly on APIs and AI features. Before that I spent 2.5 years at teQmavens on payments and storefronts. I also freelance and handle clients.

I like work that ships: APIs, storefronts, dashboards, and the AI pieces that have to keep running.

At Tru I work on the backend and AI features. At teQmavens I worked on payments and client products. I also freelance and handle clients.
