About Gaurav Yeole

I build systems that make software development faster, safer, and more predictable.Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft. 8+ years building cloud-scale platforms on Azure. My work spans two areas:CLOUD GOVERNANCE AND RISK PLATFORMSI architect distributed systems that assess risk, enforce compliance, and gate deployments at scale. Some numbers from that work:16x throughput improvement in a data scanning pipeline10x cost reduction in text analytics processing0% to 80% code coverage on a previously untested codebaseSDLC AUTOMATION AND AI-ASSISTED ENGINEERINGI design AI-augmented workflows that compress multi-day engineering tasks into hours. Not demos. Production-tested systems I use every day:AI analyzes a codebase and produces tech specs with exact file paths, method signatures, and DI registrations.Automated PR review that enforces layered architecture rules and catches distributed systems anti-patterns.Developer productivity system: morning briefings, sprint sync, work logging, meeting prep - all automated.Scoring algorithm backtests to prove signal quality before shipping.The biggest thing I\'ve learned: the real skill isn\'t picking the right AI model. It\'s knowing when NOT to use AI.Shell scripts for deterministic work.AI skills for judgment-heavy tasks.Sub-agents for parallel exploration.MCP servers for live integrations.I\'ve started sharing what I\'ve built and what I\'ve learned. If you\'re trying to bring AI into your SDLC and want to skip the hype cycle, DM me.Writing at: medium.com/@gauravyeole

Experience

1. Senior Software Engineer

   Microsoft

   Mar 2023 — Present · Redmond, WA, US

   Cloud governance, risk assessment, and security platforms on Azure.Took a compliance platform from proof-of-concept to production, scaling adoption from 4 to 44+ servicesRedesigned risk scoring from additive model to a three-layer decision engine, improving precision through direction-aware graph traversal.Designed event-driven integration architecture that became the standard model adopted by partner teams.16x throughput improvement in data scanning pipeline (4 hours to 25 minutes)10x cost reduction in text analytics processingEstablished code coverage from 0% to 80%(396 tests)Led security incident response across multiple high-severity events.Authored AI engineering playbook (spec-driven development, constraint injection, plan-first execution) adopted across the organisation.Built AI-augmented developer workflows: automated architecture review, spec generation, PR automation, sprint syncing.Mentored 10+ engineers and interns.
