Manoj Kumar

I'm an aspiring Software Development Engineer and Cloud Engineer with a passion for building applications that solve real-world problems. I’ve gained hands-on experience through full-stack development projects, working with technologies like React, Node.js, and MongoDB, and I’m actively expanding my skills in cloud computing, particularly with AWS . While I'm still exploring the deeper layers of cloud infrastructure, I’ve already built and deployed several real-world apps, and I'm eager to learn more about how to design systems that are both scalable and efficient. I'm also deeply curious about the intersection of AI and robotics, and I see it as a space where software, hardware, and intelligence meet to create something truly innovative. Though I’m still at the beginning of that journey, I’m excited by the possibilities. For me, every line of code is a chance to grow, and every project is a step closer to mastering my craft. Let’s build the future—one solution at a time.

Experience

Research Project – ISRO Challenge 2025

IIITDM Kurnool (Mentorship Collaboration)

Contributed to the ISRO Innovation Challenge 2025 as part of a team working on a GPS-independent drone navigation system. The project aimed to guide drones using sensor-based data in GPS-denied environments. Under the guidance of researchers from IIITDM Kurnool, I focused on the depth estimation module to help the drone perceive distances to surrounding objects.

Key contributions:

• Designed a depth estimation system using multi-LiDAR setup and Here Flow optical flow sensor for accurate distance sensing.
• Evaluated different approaches to estimate distances without relying on GPS, contributing to safer drone navigation.
• Collaborated closely with peers and mentors to integrate depth sensing with the overall navigation strategy.

Interests

Outside of coding and development, I’m deeply passionate about exploring the outdoors. I love going on long rides, discovering new places, and immersing myself in nature through activities like trekking, mountain climbing, and adventure travel. The thrill of exploring uncharted terrains keeps me energized and curious.

When indoors, I enjoy diving into ancient wisdom, history, and philosophical texts that offer timeless insights. I regularly listen to podcasts on personal growth, technology, and culture. I also stay up-to-date with innovations in the tech world, especially in areas like cloud computing, AI, and robotics, always eager to learn something new and meaningful.
