AI Engineer · Product Builder · Open to new opportunities

I build useful software where AI meets messy reality.

I'm Divjot Singh Manchanda — an AI engineer who takes ideas from rough prototype to dependable product. I build local-first tools, data systems, and full-stack AI applications, and I'm looking for a team where I can keep doing ambitious, hands-on work.

How I like to work

Curious enough to explore. Practical enough to finish.

I enjoy ambiguity at the beginning and discipline at the end: finding the real problem, building the smallest credible version, then making it reliable. I'm especially excited by AI, developer tools, thoughtful consumer software, and teams that care about craft.
