Me
Hey, I'm Ayush 👋
Software engineer at Microsoft, based in Seattle. I work on networking infrastructure powering SharePoint and like building things that are useful, fast, or just fun.
About
I'm a software engineer at Microsoft 👨💻, based in Seattle, WA, with 4.5+ years building cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and network security for SharePoint's global backend.
My work centers on the networking domain — Kubernetes microservices networking, traffic flow analysis, IP capacity planning, NSG-based security, latency optimization, and network diagnostics across hundreds of thousands of devices and billions of virtual instances.
I work daily in C#/.NET, C++, PowerShell, and across Azure (VMSS, NSG, SLB, DNS), with a strong foundation in TCP/IP, the OSI model, and large-scale distributed systems.
Most recently I've shifted to the Microsoft Copilot AI pipeline — building document search and enrichment over Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files to power higher-quality answers for user queries.
Outside of work I play a lot of sports (🏊♂️ swimming, 🏏 cricket, 🏸 badminton, ⚽ soccer, 🏐 volleyball), game whenever I can (🎮 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is my current favorite), and travel with friends — most recently Japan 🗾, which I'm still in awe of.
