About Dharun Narayanan L K
I’m a Software Engineer who lives for that specific \"aha!\" moment when a complex, messy system is finally distilled into something simple, safe, and scalable. Currently at Microsoft, I’m building at the intersection of agentic AI and robust software engineering, taking ambiguous, high-level problems and turning them into reliable, measurable code. Whether I’m architecting backend infrastructure or fine-tuning a model, my philosophy remains the same \"if it’s not resilient and intuitive, it’s not finished\".My journey has been defined by high-impact \"builder\" roles at tech giants. As an intern at Microsoft, I built a framework to analyze usage patterns for SharePoint Online’s autofill columns, turning raw telemetry into a roadmap for product teams. Before that, as an intern at Amazon, I took on the \"manual query\" monster by developing an internal tool using AWS SQS and DynamoDB. By streamlining order-verification workflows, I was able to eliminate tedious API polling and significantly boost engineering efficiency. Beyond the industry grind, my research at Oregon State University keeps me obsessed with the \"Safe\" part of \"Simple and Safe.\" I spend my lab time in the trenches of Security Operations, deploying provenance-based intrusion detection (PIDS) and running comparative analyses on real-world security data. From optimizing edge inference to hardening environments with the Elastic Stack, I thrive on making systems move fast without breaking.Technically, I’m a polyglot with a toolkit spanning Python, Java, C++, and TypeScript. I’m just as comfortable navigating Azure and AWS as I am building full-stack interfaces in React or training models in PyTorch. I’m always looking to connect with anyone passionate about the future of AI, cybersecurity, and the art of making the complex feel effortless.
