I’m Harish Kumar Manepalli, a results-driven Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying scalable applications across frontend and backend systems. My career spans impactful roles at Fidelity Investments and Islanders, where I delivered solutions that saved millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours by streamlining business processes and modernizing legacy systems.

I specialize in building high-performance RESTful APIs, SQL-driven data solutions, and microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and Node.js. I’ve migrated large monoliths into distributed microservice architectures, deployed them on AWS, and integrated Kafka-based event-driven systems for resilient real-time communication. On the frontend, I build accessible, responsive interfaces with React, Next.js and Angular, modern state management (Redux, React Query), and component libraries (TailwindCSS, Material UI). I focus on performance (code-splitting, lazy loading), reusable design systems, and pixel-perfect UI that integrates cleanly with backend APIs. Beyond coding, I actively contribute by mentoring junior engineers, conducting peer code reviews, and partnering with product teams to translate requirements into production-ready solutions.

Alongside industry experience, I pursued my Master’s in Computer Science at the University of California, Riverside, where I deepened my expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Data Mining. I’ve applied these skills to real-world projects in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing, bridging my strong foundation in software engineering with modern AI/ML practices.

With a proven record of driving measurable impact and innovation, I bring the ability to deliver robust technology solutions that solve complex problems and accelerate business growth.
