About Me

I'm Manav Chillar, a full-stack software engineer based in New Delhi, India. I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science from NIIT University in 2024. I've launched 3 AI-based startups from ground up with active customers.

Currently at MVPLabs, I built SMART SODAN, the current AI-powered SaaS platform connecting businesses with specialized consultants. It uses both AI and RAG search to provide intelligent service discovery. I developed the chatbot using OpenAI and RAG, architected a comprehensive multi-role system, and implemented hybrid search combining vector embeddings with full-text search.

Previously, I freelanced at a law startup where I built core features for an AI-driven platform that reduced legal research time by ~40%. I designed a knowledge graph-based search engine and leveraged LLMs for semantic understanding, document summarization, and legal Q&A workflows.

At The SaaS Company, I built a developer self-service platform and helped launch it in 45 days. I designed Terraform parsing logic, leveraged LLMs for automated code reviews, and enhanced build efficiency using TurboRepo, reducing build times by 30-40%.

My career started at Datasherlock, where I built an interactive text-to-SQL dashboard with natural language database queries. I refactored it into a reusable React component library and published it as an npm package.
