Manikanta Sirumalla
Founder of AutoClosure, builder of Zealo, and the author of all 134 articles in the Learn library. Graduate student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
What he does
Builds the app, writes the pages
Manikanta founded AutoClosure and builds Zealo, the iOS training, nutrition and recovery app currently listed on the App Store under its previous name, RepTrack Pro. Design, iOS engineering, the metabolic calculations, this website and every Learn article are all his own work.
His day-to-day expertise is software: Swift and SwiftUI, on-device data, and the HealthKit surface the app reads from. The health and training material he writes about is reported from published literature, not practised.
Credentials
What he is not
He is not a physician, dietitian, registered nurse, physiotherapist, or certified exercise physiologist, and he does not hold a clinical or nutrition qualification of any kind. No one on this site does, because there is no one else on this site.
That is stated plainly rather than buried, because a health site with an author page that implies credentials it does not have is worse than one with no author page at all. Nothing he writes is medical advice, and none of it is reviewed by a clinician before publication.
What stands in for that is method, not authority: every numeric threshold in the app has to cite a published source before it can ship, and features have been removed when the evidence would not carry them. The Science & Evidence page documents both, including the cycle-phase calorie modulation that was cut. The editorial policy sets out how a page gets written and checked.
