Lohitaksh Gupta — Co-Founder
I am working as a Software Engineer for Azure DevOps at Microsoft HQ, Redmond (Greater Seattle area) WA. Within Azure DevOps, I work on platform experience, reliability, resiliency and security. Previously, I worked for the Visual Studio Engineering team, primarily focusing on the build, release and shipping of Visual Studio. During college, I interned at Microsoft (IntelliSense for XML in Visual Studio), Visa (machine learning applications on Hadoop; focused on large-scale data engineering and computation) and Yahoo! (full-stack development for Yahoo Sports Chrome extension). Also, worked as a Microsoft Surface Student Ambassador in my sophomore year. I also co-founded my startup, Omniversity, to help students build their resumes, coding portfolios, interview prep, and land internships and full-time jobs. I am also working as a mentor with CoMotion at the University of Washington. I love to go for adventure sports, hikes, camps, skiing, workouts and road trips (already completed a 10,000-mile rectangle across the US)!
