LOKESH MANCHALA
🚀 Lokesh M – AI Enthusiast | Full-Stack Developer | Open Source Advocate
👋 About Me
Hello! I’m Lokesh, a passionate final-year Computer Science student with a keen focus on AI, backend systems, and open-source technologies. I believe in writing purposeful code — solutions that are inclusive, intelligent, and impact-driven.
From building language models in Telugu to simplifying healthcare systems through tech, my work reflects a strong blend of innovation, social responsibility, and technical depth. I'm equally comfortable deploying microservices or running shell scripts on a cluster as I am facilitating AI workshops in underserved regions.
