Hey There, I'm Mani. 👋 ^(He/Him/His)

A Product Management Professional from India.

👒 Some Hats I Wear: Python + JAMstack + FARM Stack Developer, Designer, Marketeer, S.E.O Consultant And Automation Junkie.

I’m a passionate entrepreneur with over 5 years of experience in building & scaling initiatives. I aim to combine my insights to join and help teams collaboratively identify pain points, automate/optimize workflows and reach goals.

I'm passionate about working with initiatives and teams that promote mental health, animal care, create impact or make life easier.

I firmly believe that remote is the 'future' of work.

cough Please join me in a rant on how "working remotely" and "working from home despite a global pandemic" are two completely different things. 🤨

What Would You Find On My GitHub?

• Projects and working concepts that have helped automate/optimize mundane tasks, or test out new concepts.
• Projects that support my work as the Co-Founder and Product Lead at TheMindClan, a platform that's making mental health accessible (and a personal journey) to Indians.

What Do I Code In? 💻

I try learn any language that can help the teams of various projects I'm part of. My first preference would be Python (FastAPI/Flask/Django) & Hugo with whichever front-end framework that works for the project. I've got a soft corner for Tailwind and bootstrap (SUPER pumped for version 5 btw).

Some Projects I've Worked On:

• Hugon: Python script that simplifies working with archetypes in Hugo. Enables bulk markdown file creation/editing via a single .csv!
• SwitchCase.xyz: Text/sentence conversion into random, sentence, capital, upper, lower, slug case including illegal case removal! Privacy friendly, quick, free and open source!
• SyncWP: CLI script to migrate a PHP/Wordpress site from your local non/docker machine to a WPCLI + SSH enabled server. Seeks commands via a .YAML config file. Of course, this was before I moved almost all projects to JAMstack on Netlify.
• File2Drive: Experimental script to transfer all files straight into another folder (eg: OneDrive, DropBox, System) using Python. Useful for automating font backups.
• PicToSquare: Experimental script that uses Python to enter a directory and make pictures “Instagram Ready” by framing them up into a no-crop square.
• PowFile: Quick script to help switch up Windows Powershell profile files or reset them back to normal. Useful for live demos & shell recording sessions.

What Can I Help You With? 🆘

• I can be your resident entrepreneur, working with you to solve any challenge you're experiencing.
• I can help you find out ways to automate the tasks you didn't know needed automation.
• I can help you adopt the best agile strategies for your product cat/dog for your mental health. (Just kidding, I can help you with both)
• Opening your perspective on how having womxn (and intersectional representation) in tech/positions of power can actually help you and the overall ecosystem.

Open Source Projects That Have Caught My Eye: 👀

• n8n.io: Doing to task automation, what Mautic has done to email marketing.
• Hugo: The fastest, easiest and most dependable static page generator out there.
• FastAPI: A framework for high performance, fast to code, ready for production python apps.
• Uppload: 📁 JavaScript image uploader and editor, no backend required.
• dokku: A PaaS solution that brings Heroku like deployments with Docker under the hood.
• DocAssemble: A free, open-source expert system for guided interviews and document assembly, based on Python, YAML, and Markdown.

A Quote I Resonate With. 🎯
