Manya Jain

Introduction

Hey there, I’m Manya — a Computer Science student with a soft spot for systems that just work and a borderline obsession with making things more efficient. Whether it’s streamlining a deployment, designing a clean dashboard, or figuring out why something broke at 2 AM, I genuinely enjoy solving problems and building tools that make life easier for someone, somewhere.

I’ve worked with tools like Jenkins, Kubernetes (K3s), Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, and OAuth2-Proxy, and I’m always exploring new ones — not just to use them, but to understand how they tick. I’m especially curious about the kind of challenges that research dives into, and I’m eager to contribute to lab projects, explore innovative ideas, or even write a thesis that asks bold questions and chases practical answers.

I learn best by building, breaking, and rebuilding. I ask questions (a lot), and I get excited by messy problems that need a thoughtful touch. If there’s an opportunity to collaborate, experiment, or create something that makes an impact — count me in.
