I’m Ananthu Mangaloly — a full stack engineer with 8+ years turning ambiguous product ideas into web and mobile systems that hold up under real production load. Today I set the technical direction as CTO at Orieal Technologies and run Pixel Pro Academy as CEO, from Kozhikode, Kerala.

An engineer who never left the codebase, now running the strategy that decides what gets built.
Over the last eight years, my work has lived at the intersection of deep technical execution and company building. I’ve never believed in leading from an ivory tower-great engineering leadership comes from knowing how systems behave under real production load, and what it genuinely takes to build teams that love shipping them.
My foundation was built line by line, starting in frontend architecture and design systems before expanding across the entire full-stack ecosystem. Even while steering company strategy, I remain an active engineer. I still get my hands dirty architecting the core primitives: scalable React interfaces, resilient Node services, and the data models that power them.
As my focus expanded into venture building, I stepped into executive roles to help turn ambitious technical visions into operational reality. Today, I serve as CTO & Co-Founder at Alpha Chaperone, CTO & Director at Orieal Technologies, and CEO & Director at Pixel Pro Academy, where I’ve had the privilege of mentoring over a thousand studnts and engineers into shipping their first production-grade code.
Whether I’m writing code, architecting a roadmap, or growing engineers, the goal remains the same: build software that lasts and empower the people who make it happen.
