Jahnvi Thakkar — Software Engineer

I’m on a mission to make databases feel effortless. As an SDE at Microsoft on the Azure SQL Drivers team, I’m helping build the next-generation open-source Python driver (mssql-python). My day-to-day jumps between Entra ID support, native C++ integrations with PyBind11, DBAPI 2.0, and Context Manager support — all so developers can connect, query, and scale without friction. What excites me right now: blending engineering with AI-assisted development. I’m experimenting with how AI can write smarter tests, generate structured code, and remove the “busywork” from coding. At Microsoft, I plug into our AI communities to explore how these tools can reimagine the way we build software. Before Microsoft, I spent time at Myntra as a Full Stack Developer, where I rolled out automation for AKS upgrades, built adaptive scaling that cut costs by 60%, and led a data center migration that finished in hours (not days). It taught me how infrastructure, when done right, can be a silent enabler of innovation. Earlier, as a college student I worked on everything from virtual try-ons to voice shopping assistants — and even picked up a couple of hackathon wins along the way (2nd @ Myntra Hackerramp, 3rd @ Google Hackathon). Outside of code, you’ll find me with paintbrush in hand or sketchbook on my desk — creating in different forms but always driven by curiosity and craft.
