About

I am a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft Teams, leading the Frontend Platform that powers key experiences across the Teams Admin Center (TAC). My work spans UI architecture, platform foundational services, engineering operations, and cloud-scale reliability across Microsoft’s ecosystem. With 13+ years of experience across frontend engineering, platform development, and engineering leadership, I bring deep expertise in modern web technologies—HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, AngularJS, ReactJS, and Ionic—combined with hands-on leadership of platform components that integrate with Microsoft Azure infrastructure and the broader backend systems that drive TAC. In my current role, I lead a blended team of full-time engineers and vendors responsible for TAC’s end-to-end platform: core UI framework, shared components, API integration layers, performance architecture, automation, and security fundamentals. I collaborate closely with backend teams across Microsoft to ensure seamless interaction between the UI platform, microservices, Graph APIs, identity systems, compliance layers, and analytics pipelines. I have driven initiatives that strengthened our automation footprint (Playwright E2E suite), improved CI/CD pipelines, enhanced telemetry and diagnostics, and reduced incident volume through better observability and engineering rigor. These efforts have meaningfully improved developer productivity, reliability, and release efficiency for teams building on TAC. Beyond delivery, I focus on building strong teams, clear engineering processes, and an inclusive culture. As part of Manager Excellence and D&I efforts, I mentor emerging leaders, develop engineering leads, and help teams navigate complexity with clarity, empathy, and accountability. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Jadavpur University and stay deeply engaged in platform modernization, cloud-native engineering, frontend evolution, and scaling high-impact engineering teams.
