## About

```text
At Microsoft, I work on enterprise AI adoption for Microsoft Office and Copilot-related systems. I architected Product-Led Growth campaigns for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Copilot usage across 15M+ enterprise users, helping drive 100K+ engaged Copilot users.

I contributed to Cerberus, an ACL management solution for compliant access control across Azure DevOps and Azure resources for Office and Substrate. I also added Azure DevOps AI-powered security skills with Security Copilot to support AI-assisted security reviews.

I initiated Operation Pincer, a penetration-testing initiative across engineering systems, and organized a Microsoft-wide Capture the Flag event with STRIKE that achieved more than 50% user engagement. I also enhanced 1ES Secret Rotator to enable service account password rotation without Corpnet dependency.

Earlier, at Bharat Electronics, I initiated a Java monitoring module that made system operations deterministic and reduced CPU utilization by 20%. I also supported development of a target tracking system using Kalman Filter and Hungarian Method in C/C++.
