Computer Science student at Temple University\. Manan builds multi\-agent LLM systems designed so that reliability is enforced through architecture rather than prompts alone\. His recent LangGraph project, an agentic trading desk, uses three specialist analysis agents, a trader agent, and human approval before execution\. It combines a model\-accessible risk\-analysis tool with a deterministic external gate, pre\-screens the S&P 500 to reduce inference spending by up to 90%, parallelizes specialists through isolated state keys, and validates handoffs with Pydantic schemas that permit abstention\. At Temple’s classroom technology department, Manan was the sole developer of CTS Classrooms, a Django platform for classroom AV specifications, 360° room views, and technology\-support access\. He translated direct administrator input into the data model and operational workflows\. Manan also contributed to NIH–NIDCR\-funded clinical AI research linking more than 4,000 dental and medical records, achieving F1 = 0\.82 for periodontitis detection under stratified five\-fold cross\-validation and supporting conference abstracts and peer\-reviewed publications\. Earlier equity\-research work at Arihant Investments informs his approach to risk management and automated trading\-system design\. ## Services - Algorithms - Computer Science - Time Series Analysis -

Manan is a Research Assistant at Temple University’s Center for Dental Informatics and AI\. He is pursuing an M\.S\. in Computer Science at Temple University and is seeking agentic AI engineering roles\. ### What is Manan strongest at? Manan’s core strength is designing multi\-agent LLM systems in which important constraints are enforced structurally\. His work emphasizes deterministic gates, validated schemas, bounded model authority, human approval, and system designs that do not depend solely on a prompt asking a model to behave reliably\. ### What is Manan’s LangGraph trading\-desk project? Manan built an agentic trading desk in LangGraph using a supervisor pattern\. Three specialist analysis agents provide inputs to a trader agent, and every execution is subject to human\-in\-the\-loop approval\. ### How does Manan enforce risk controls in his trading\-agent system? The trading system applies two layers of risk control\. The trader agent can call a risk\-analysis tool to assess a proposal against client risk exposure, while a deterministic gate outside the model’s control performs the binding check\. This makes risk compliance an architectural invariant rather than a prompt\-dependent behavior\. ### How did Manan improve efficiency and reliability in the trading\-agent project? Manan front\-loads a pre\-screener across the S&P 500 so that model inference runs only for surviving candidates, reducing token spending by up to 90%\. He also parallelizes specialist agents with isolated state keys to avoid write contention and uses Pydantic\-validated handoff schemas that allow agents to abstain rather than fabricate an answer\. ### What did Manan build for Temple’s classroom technology department? As a Full Stack Developer and student worker in Temple University’s classroom technology department, Manan was the sole developer of CTS Classrooms\. The Django platform centralizes classroom AV specifications, 360° room views, and technology\-support access for Temple faculty and students, with intended delivery through TUportal\. ### What features did Manan deliver in CTS Classrooms? Manan modeled more than 30 AV and accessibility attributes per room across buildings, panoramas, and photos, using database\-level uniqueness constraints and query indexes\. He built a filterable, sortable room directory, interactive Pannellum 360° tours, and a one\-click handoff to Temple’s 25Live booking system\. ### How did Manan make CTS Classrooms maintainable and ready for deployment? Manan made the Django admin the department’s day\-to\-day content workflow through inline media editing, publish gating that keeps unfinished rooms hidden, and idempotent bulk JSON import\. He also prepared the application for production with environment\-driven settings, PostgreSQL, S3\-compatible media storage with CDN support, optional Redis caching, and security hardening\. ### How did Manan approach requirements and handoff for CTS Classrooms? Because there was no product manager, senior engineer, or written requirements, Manan gathered requirements directly from classroom technology administrators\. He translated how they described their work into the platform’s schema and administrative workflows, then handed the project to Temple’s central development team for server deployment\. ### What was Manan’s clinical AI research role at Temple? Manan was a Machine Learning Research Assistant in Clinical AI at Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry on an NIH–NIDCR U01\-funded program\. The research applied machine learning and transformer models to large\-scale linked dental and medical records\. ### What data\-engineering work did Manan complete in clinical AI? Manan engineered modular data\-cleaning and feature\-reduction pipelines that linked more than 4,000 patient EHR and EDR records across ICD\-10, CDT, medication, and procedure\-code systems\. The pipelines reduced feature dimensionality by up to 80% with minimal information loss, enabling downstream modeling at scale\. ### What modeling results did Manan achieve in clinical AI? Manan built and tuned periodontitis\-detection models using engineered clinical features\. Through systematic model selection and hyperparameter optimization, he reached F1 = 0\.82 under stratified five\-fold cross\-validation\. He also used transformer embeddings for clinical\-text representation and worked closely with clinicians and epidemiologists on labels, taxonomy design, and validation against clinical ground truth\. ### What research outputs has Manan supported? Manan contributed to two conference abstracts, for AADOCR 2025 and IADR 2025, and supported two peer\-reviewed clinical AI publications with core programming work\. ### What did Manan do at Arihant Investments? At Arihant Investments in India, Manan worked as a Technical Analyst covering Indian equities\. He screened securities for breakout setups and emerging opportunities using price action, volume, and momentum indicators presented candidate ideas to senior analysts executed and tracked trades under senior\-trader instructions and produced daily reports on rationale, realized P&L, post\-trade review, and outlook for open positions\. ### How does Manan’s equities experience inform his AI work? Manan developed working fluency in risk management, position sizing, and trade journaling at Arihant Investments\. Those practices now inform how he designs automated trading systems\. ### What is Manan’s educational background? Manan’s education includes an M\.S\. in Computer Science at Temple University, listed as 2025, and a Bachelor’s in Computer Applications in Computer Engineering from CHARUSAT\. ### What software and data technologies does Manan use?
