Hi, I'm Manas. I build systems and write down what breaks.
Derpx06 on the internet. I ship production mobile apps, backend services and agentic AI systems — and turn what I learn into the essays, explainers and notes on this site.
Pune · --:--The short version
I build production mobile applications, scalable backend services and agentic AI systems — React Native and Jetpack Compose on the front, Node.js and FastAPI behind them, and retrieval and multi-agent workflows where the two meet. App Development Lead, four-time hackathon winner, and the person who ships the whole thing rather than a slice of it.
This site is where I write down what I learn — usually after getting it wrong first. Essays argue one point, explainers walk through one paper, and the notebooks are my study notes, in order.
Where I've shipped
Production apps, real users, real releases.
Built outside work
Mostly local-first, mostly agents.
The whole thing, not a slice of it
From the app on the phone to the service behind it and the model behind that.
