About Me

Hi, I’m Manan Jain! I’m a Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at SUNY Buffalo and an AI Engineer Intern at Daiichi Sankyo, where I work on scalable AI systems that combine large language models with advanced retrieval techniques. Alongside this, I contribute as a Research Assistant at SUNY Buffalo, focusing on sustainable AI by optimizing deep learning workloads to reduce energy consumption. Previously, I worked as a Software Development Engineer at Experian, where I gained hands-on experience in full-stack development, microservices, and system design for enterprise applications. My passion lies at the intersection of AI research and software engineering, where I strive to build intelligent, efficient, and impactful systems that bridge innovation with real-world applications.

Beyond Code

Outside of coding, I enjoy writing to express my thoughts and reflect on ideas. I love spending time outdoors, exploring nature, or just unwinding with a good book. Meeting new people and having meaningful conversations are things I value deeply, as they bring fresh perspectives and inspiration into my life.

When I’m not doing any of that, you’ll likely find me trying out new hobbies, enjoying music, or simply relaxing and recharging. Life beyond code is all about finding balance and enjoying the little things!
