Manikantanagasai (Mani) Illuri just completed his first year at UC Santa Cruz. While in high school, he took several courses at a community college to stay ahead and better prepare for a major in computer science. In his free time, Mani has been developing a social media platform that connects senior citizens to teens in the area for help completing everyday tasks. He plans to further develop this platform with his current team he met in high school and a few new peers he’s met at UCSC.
