Implemented a credit card add-and-purchase flow for a new partner in the Windows Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), including a novel QR code–based OTP challenge for browser-less authentication — a first-of-kind flow across all Microsoft payment storefronts in India. Built an AI-driven incident analysis tool that auto-summarizes root causes for ~40% of day-to-day incidents, reducing DRI triage effort and auto-drafting trace-backed emails to external providers for outages on their end. Reduced average API latency by 80% (500ms → ~95ms) by refactoring async/threading logic, improving throughput and user-perceived performance. Served as primary technical point of contact for vendors, mentoring them on coding standards and integration requirements to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery. Architected and shipped a frontend payment component that moved checkout-flow ownership from individual storefronts to the payments platform, improving consistency and reducing integration overhead across partners. Hardened Azure security via VNet integration, private endpoints, NSGs, and firewall rules, isolating production payment PaaS resources (Functions, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Storage, Data Factory) from public network access. Introduced a load-testing framework using Azure Load Testing with JMeter, establishing performance baselines and identifying bottlenecks under peak traffic. Built and owned CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, automating build, test, and deployment to speed release cycles and cut manual errors. Created agentic automation using MCP servers (Azure DevOps, Kusto, release pipelines) to chain code changes, PR creation, builds, releases, and deployment-log validation into single end-to-end tasks.

Developed a comprehensive One Monitoring Dashboard using Azure Data Explorer to provide collective service health monitoring analytics for engineering and DRI teams. Integrated the dashboard with various internal Microsoft applications and external businesses, streamlining monitoring processes and resulting in a 30% reduction in manual intervention and 20% improvement in response time. Implemented proactive alerting for run failures, logic app downtimes, and other issues, enabling the team to resolve problems before users were impacted.
