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.

🚀 What I Do

• Built the Microsoft Developer Agent. It's a conversational AI system powered by LLMs that automates the entire pull request lifecycle (primarily Azure Devops repos).
• Designed ML-based reviewer assignment systems that process 300+ daily PRs across 250+ global reviewer teams for our monorepo.
• Created event-driven notification systems and analytics platforms that reduced false alarms by 70% for our CI-CD workflows.

💻 Tech Stack

• Python, C#, Django, FastAPI
• Azure (Cosmos DB, OpenAI, Active Directory)
• OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect
• Machine Learning (traditional ML + LLMs)
• Event-driven architectures

This repository is my personal website—a minimalist, Ubuntu-inspired blog where I write about developer productivity, authentication systems, machine learning, and building tools that make engineers' lives easier.

Live at: niketansrane.com Built with vanilla HTML/CSS as a learning exercise. I used copilot to build this end-to-end.
