# Manraj Toor > Senior Backend Engineer at Underdog Fantasy Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/manraj I am a software developer studying at the University of Michigan, with a focus in full stack development and cyber security. Recently, I completed an internship with EKK Inc. where I focused on easing user’s experience through client side optimizations. During this internship, I had the opportunity to garner insight into the procedures utilized by companies when developing software. Before EKK Inc., I spent the previous summer with Falcon Lakeside Manufacturing working on development of autonomous data collection and visualization programs. The majority of my programming skills have been learned while working on my classwork at U-M, where, in May 2020, I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. In 2016, I was part of the Michigan Aeronautical Science Association student design team, where I worked as a member of the External Pressurization group, designing a system to introduce helium into the liquid engine of our rocket. Outside of my programming affairs, I am a part of U-M’s student run magazine SHEI. As a member of the fashion team, I work on coordinating outfits for models as well as creating clothing designs for unique pieces. Working with SHEI has allowed me to solve issues I come across when coding with a unique and creative approach. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer II @ Underdog Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Backend Engineer @ Underdog Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | Brooklyn, New York, United States ### Backend Engineer II @ Underdog Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Brooklyn, New York, United States ### Backend Engineer I @ Underdog Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Brooklyn, New York, United States ### Co-Founder @ Bounce Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States https://bounce.fm/ ### Software Engineer @ Shift Digital Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Birmingham, Michigan, United States ### Co-Founder @ Playlist Parrot Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | New York, New York, United States -Built a web app that helps musicians promote their music to thousands of Spotify playlists -Hundreds of users and 3,000+ searches made so far https://playlistparrot.com/ ### Associate Software Engineer @ EKK, Inc.
