Location: Lake St Louis, Missouri, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/manojreddyponagandla

AI-Native Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable cloud-native systems and full-stack applications. I combine strong software engineering fundamentals with modern AI-native development workflows, using LLMs and tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Bolt, and Amazon Q to rapidly prototype and ship production systems.

At Charter Communications, I work on large-scale distributed systems using Java, Spring Boot, React, GraphQL, and AWS. I also build agentic AI tooling using Amazon Kiro, including a Splunk log analyzer agent that identifies root causes from logs and navigates to relevant project modules to accelerate debugging — creating a log-to-resolution engineering workflow.

Outside of enterprise systems, I build AI-powered products and automation pipelines, focusing on rapid iteration and real-world deployment.
