Manikanta Kopparapu

I’m a passionate Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience delivering scalable, cloud-native, and high-performance applications across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors. I specialize in full-stack development and backend engineering, building systems that are not only functional—but fast, reliable, and designed for scale. I’ve developed and deployed over 100+ RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices using Spring Boot, Flask, Node.js, Kafka, and RabbitMQ—enabling seamless data flows across distributed systems. My code has supported systems used by thousands, reduced API response times by up to 40%, and improved developer velocity by automating tedious manual tasks via CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. Cloud platforms are my playground—whether it’s orchestrating microservices on AWS EKS, implementing serverless functions via Lambda, or leveraging BigQuery and Firestore on GCP for real-time analytics. I bring an infrastructure-as-code mindset, deploying reliable, containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, and monitoring performance with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog. Collaboration is at the heart of how I work. From leading web modernization projects at the University of North Texas to optimizing enterprise systems at Virtusa and Airbnb, I’ve partnered with cross-functional teams to ship features quickly, with purpose and precision. Whether debugging a production issue or architecting a new feature, I bring a problem-solving mindset and an eye for long-term impact. Technologies I thrive in: Java, Python, React, Spring Boot, Flask, Node.js, SQL/NoSQL, Kafka, Redis, AWS, GCP, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and more. My long-term vision? To build intelligent, resilient systems that create tangible value—whether that’s improving operational efficiency, enabling smarter decisions through data, or delivering frictionless user experiences. If you're looking for someone who can think in systems, code with intent, and lead with integrity—let’s connect.
