Hi, I'm Guduru Manideep
Software Engineer · Test Automation & AI Agents · Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, India
I build test automation frameworks for UI and APIs in Java, and AI agents that stay inside clear guardrails. Over 1.5 years in industry I have learned that good automation is engineering, not just scripting: clean design, fast feedback and tests the team can trust.
I also teach. A community of 18k+ people learns from my content, and Beginners Academy is where it comes together: a live course from zero through Java, Selenium WebDriver and REST Assured, taught the way real teams work.

Tap a level to see what I learned at each stage and the skills it unlocked.
Level 1 of 5 · Foundations
Thinking in code
Before any tool, I made the fundamentals solid: how Java works under the hood and how data is modelled.
How I levelled up
- Practised data structures and algorithms until choosing the right collection became instinct.
- Went deep on OOP: interfaces, inheritance vs composition, and SOLID principles.
- Mentored peers on SQL, joins and normalisation, and found out that teaching is the fastest way to learn.
Skills unlocked
- Core Java
- OOP & SOLID
- Collections
- DSA
- SQL
- Git
How I teach
Start from zero
The course assumes no background and builds one idea at a time, so nothing feels like a jump.
Learn by doing
You write code along with me in every class, so you learn by doing.
Explain the why
Knowing why something works makes you faster at debugging and confident in interviews.
Keep it practical
The topics follow what teams actually use in Java, UI and API test automation work.
