## About
Hi, I'm Manish.

I'm a 17-year-old AI engineer and researcher from Hyderabad, India.

I build products at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognition, and software engineering. I'm the founder of Neurova, where I'm exploring adaptive AI systems, and the creator of MindTrace AI, a research project studying how AI influences learning and memory.

Recently, I was selected for Stanford Code in Place, became a NASA Citizen Science Researcher, joined the Science Mentorship Institute as a CS Research Intern, contributed to GirlScript Summer of Code, and achieved Official Rank 1 (perfect score) in the AlgoQuest 2026 National Level Coding Competition.

Outside of research, you'll usually find me building products, competing on Codeforces and LeetCode, reading AI papers, or experimenting with new ideas.

My long-term goal is to build AI systems that genuinely augment human intelligence.
