About Me
Hi, I'm Niketan.
I'm a software engineer at Microsoft, building AI-powered developer
productivity tools that help developers ship their products and features
faster.
If you want to talk Developer Experience, AI for developer
productivity or cricket, I'm always up for a good chat.
My resume is publicly available
here.
I'm very comfortable with Python, Django, Azure (Cosmos DB, OpenAI,
Active Directory), OAuth 2.0, and building AI-powered automation using
LLMs and RAG. I've also written production C# at Microsoft, but it's
not my comfort zone (yet).
I spend most of my time writing C#, Python, and Kusto and tinkering
with AI, building Developer Agents. One of the developer agent I
worked on was recently
featured in Microsoft Build 2025.
You'll often find me tinkering with event-driven architectures, Azure
pipelines, or machine learning recommendation models.
