About Balram Prasad
I am a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft USA with over 18 years of experience in software development. I hold a Microsoft Certified Solution Architect certification in Cloud Computing and Data Platform. My expertise spans cloud technology, databases, big data.NET Framework, C#, and beyond. Throughout my career, I\'ve worked in startups as well as service-based and product-based companies, engaging in a diverse array of projects including front-end and back-end development, testing, data engineering, ML POCs, and infrastructure-as-code. I\'ve built scalable web apps, integrated mobile apps with SAP in both online and offline modes, developed an advertisement and personalization platform for ATM machines, and led software ecosystems projects for ATMs. I am a senior core member of a team managing a Lake platform, handling petabytes of data, and have spearheaded large-scale data migrations involving over 100 teams. My experience also includes developing an internal copilot using Azure Search and Azure Open AI, as well as implementing DevOps practices such as CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting systems, and infrastructure automation. My current learning interests are in deep learning, robotics, connected and driverless cars, and security. Beyond my role at Microsoft, I am passionate about exploring cutting-edge technologies and sharing my insights through Azure demo videos on YouTube.
