MANAS GUPTA
Full-stack engineer at Spine AI (YC S23). I build distributed systems for long-running AI workflows, and the tooling developers use to reach them.
Experience
Selected rolesFour years of backends other products depend on. I end up where the system is hardest to keep upright — schedulers, event pipelines, deploy tooling — and stay until it's boring.

Expertise
Four areasI work across distributed backends, agent tooling, and the infrastructure underneath. Whichever layer it is, the job is to ship better work, faster.
Distributed Systems
Execution engines that survive failure — scheduling, resumable workers, long-lived streams.
AI & Agent Tooling
Claude Code and Codex plugins, MCP servers, and SDKs other engineers build on.
Full-Stack Product
Next.js on the surface, FastAPI and Go underneath. Schema to pixel.
Infrastructure
Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD on AWS — services that scale without a war room.
Projects
Selected workFour things I shipped and kept running. Two are libraries other engineers install; two were built with a team and put in front of real users.
Fakeout
Zero-dependency disposable-email detection covering 5,000+ burner domains. Runs in Spine AI's production auth flow.
