About

As a Software Engineer 2 on Microsoft’s OneDrive & SharePoint AuthZen Team, I focus on developing Security and Compliance features that serve 200M+ users worldwide. With a strong foundation in Enterprise Security, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and OAuth protocols, I bring 5 years of dedicated experience in product development. My work is characterized by a proven ability to deliver secure, high-quality, and robust enterprise solutions. Within the ODSP AuthZen team, I work on both Infrastructure and Product side of Security and Compliance, on the product side I develop security and compliance features centered around Restricted Access, Restricted Sharing, and Restricted Download for 500+ large enterprise customers. On the infrastructure side I own the Microservices Authentication Library, and develop various service to service authentication flows. This involves close collaboration with Product teams based in Redmond to ensure our solutions align with user needs. My primary tech stack includes C#, .NET, C++, SQL, Typescript, React.js, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Cloud, Azure DevOps, and PowerShell scripting. I earned my B.Tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, with an OGPA of 8.79. My academic focus included Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, Microprocessors, Computer Networks, and Machine Learning, among other subjects, providing me with a strong theoretical and practical foundation. I also completed a summer internship at Microsoft in 2019, where I contributed to cloud build optimizations within the Office Engineering team. This experience led to a return offer, and I joined as a full-time employee in 2020. Feel free to reach out to me at pandeyakshive97@outlook.com.
