Senior engineer at Sony —
supply chain &
developer tooling.

I'm Manukashyap, a senior software engineer at Sony. For the past five years I've worked on GSOIS, Sony's global supply chain platform, and more recently on agentic developer tooling. Java and Spring are home; React, AWS, and LLM/RAG are where I've been reaching lately.

01 / About

Backend at heart, full-stack in practice.

// Bio

I joined Sony in 2021 and have been part of the team that built GSOIS — the Global Sales Order Issue System — from early mockups into a production platform serving North America, Europe, APAC, and Japan. At peak it handles significant order volume, and it's been recognized as Sony's Best App of the Year for two consecutive years.

My core is Java / Spring Boot — services, Spring Batch pipelines, and the careful work of keeping a critical system reliable. But I'm equally comfortable on React / Vue frontends, and over the last year I've shipped LLM and RAG systems on AWS Bedrock and Aurora pgvector.

More recently, I've been building tooling for the engineers building the software — a multi-agent SDLC pipeline now used daily by 20+ engineers across Sony to spec, implement, review, and ship changes.

What I'm working on

Updated · May 2026
  • Scaling the agentic SDLC pipeline from GSOIS to GWX — git worktrees, parallel subagents, automated MRs.
  • Expanding the AI test-generation agent: 300+ Playwright tests auto-authored, rollout to www.sony.com in flight.
  • Tech-leading a pod of 4 — coordinating delivery across SNA, SEU, AP/JP stakeholders.
  • Reading more about evaluation frameworks for agentic systems and spec-first development.

Senior Software Engineer

Sony · Bengaluru, India

GSOIS · Global Sales Order Issue System
  • Built and operate Java/Spring Boot services and Spring Batch jobs at the core of Sony's global order pipeline — handling peak order volume across NA, EU, APAC, and Japan.
  • Tech lead for a pod of 4 (2 engineers, 2 interns) inside a 30-person cross-functional team; coordinating delivery with cross-regional stakeholders.
  • Improved service reliability from 99.7% → 99.9% uptime YoY; zero unplanned outages in the last 12 months.
  • Managed 3 Sev-1 incidents over 2 years — average response under 15 minutes, worst-case resolution within 45 minutes against a 1-hour SLA.
  • Drove CI/CD on GitLab — weekly deployments in active phases, scheduled stable releases in steady-state.
  • Built a multi-agent SDLC automation system on AWS Kiro CLI, now used by 20+ engineers: spec-driven requirements → design & implementation docs → parallel/sequential subagents for code, spec review, and code-quality review, with full git worktree management and automated MR creation.
GWX · www.sony.com
  • Built a premature-publishing detection system to prevent unintended content releases on production.
  • Drove answer engine optimization (AEO) initiatives to improve Sony's content visibility in AI-generated search.
  • Developed an AI agent that autonomously traverses sites and generates Playwright test cases — migrated 150 Cypress tests and auto-generated 300+ functional tests across GSOIS; GWX rollout in progress.
  • Led a POC for AI-agent-driven Scala → Java migration to accelerate codebase modernization.
Jul 2021 — Dec 2024

Software Engineer

Sony · Bengaluru, India

  • Joined GSOIS in its early phase — helped build the platform from UI mockups to a production-grade full-stack implementation.
  • Developed responsive React interfaces and backend APIs in Java/Spring Boot for global supply chain users.
  • Designed and implemented Spring Batch jobs for purchase-order processing, delivery timeline tracking, and cargo logistics — port/airport destinations and order distribution across shipping routes.
  • Coordinated phased regional rollout across SNA, SEU, AP/JP with stakeholders in Singapore and Japan.
  • Built a full-stack bulk ingestion feature: multipart XLSX upload + reusable Java processing utilities handling 100K+ rows across multiple business workflows.
Nov 2020 — Apr 2021

PHP Developer Intern

Quality Theorem · Bengaluru, India

  • Developed web applications using PHP and the LAMP stack.
  • Built map-based device visualization interfaces with the Google Maps API to display real-time IoT device locations for smart-city infrastructure (smart water meters, connected sensors).
03 / Selected Projects

Some things I've worked on.

GSOIS — Global Sales Order Issue System

Production · 4 regions

Global platform for managing sales-order issues inside Sony's One Supply Chain program.

React frontend, Spring Boot microservices, Spring Batch jobs. Integrates with SAP and other enterprise systems for end-to-end order lifecycle across NA, EU, APAC, Japan. Recognized as Sony's Best App of the Year twice.

Agentic SDLC Pipeline

Internal · 20+ engineers daily

Multi-agent software development workflow on AWS Kiro CLI.

Spec-driven: a requirements agent produces design & implementation docs before any code is written. Then parallel and sequential subagents fan out for implementation, spec review, and code-quality review — with git worktree isolation, branch management, and automated MR creation end-to-end.

Production · www.sony.com

Sony's global marketing & ecommerce platform on Adobe AEM.

Built premature-publishing detection to prevent unintended content releases on the live site. Drove answer-engine-optimization (AEO) work to improve visibility in AI-driven search. Built an autonomous site-traversal agent that generates Playwright tests — 150 Cypress tests migrated, 300+ functional tests auto-generated. Led a Scala → Java migration POC using AI agents.

Production · Internal RAG

AI-powered RAG for internal enterprise knowledge retrieval.

Built on AWS Bedrock and Aurora pgvector. I built the frontend and contributed to the document ingestion pipeline — adding support for PDF, XLSX and other formats. Integrates real-time Jira data alongside daily SharePoint and Confluence syncs across distributed enterprise content.
