About

Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft India with over 9 years of experience in full-stack development, AI-driven solutions, and scalable infrastructure. I specialize in creating impactful solutions that drive real-world change, with a particular focus on agriculture, cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence. Currently, I lead the development of Agri CoPilot (powered by Azure OpenAI), an advanced tool that uses GPT to enable natural language data queries for diverse sources. I’ve also played a key role in building the backend for AI-based app for farmers deployed to over 1 million farmers with actionable insights on crop management, weather, and pricing. This project was even featured in keynote of multiple Microsoft's conference! I am passionate about leveraging the power of technology to solve complex problems and am always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and cloud solutions.
