About Kaushik Karanam

I am a Software Engineer operating at the intersection of generative AI and core cloud infrastructure. Currently, at Microsoft Fabric, I build AI-powered Copilot agents using RAG and agentic workflows to automate complex incident troubleshooting. Alongside the AI development, I own the operational reality of these systems: managing S360 KPIs, hardening CI/CD pipelines, and validating multi-region deployments to eliminate configuration drift.Before taking on these challenges at Microsoft and completing my M.S. in Information Systems at Northeastern University, I engineered high-throughput backend architecture at Earthlink. There, I designed microservices that handled 100K+ daily customer requests and directly reduced API response times by 40% through advanced caching and indexing strategies.I am actively looking for full-time Software Development Engineer roles where I can tackle deep architectural problems, build resilient backend infrastructure, and push the boundaries of what cloud and AI systems can do. Core Domains: Backend Architecture, GenAI / LLMs, Distributed Systems, CI/CD & DevOps Languages: Python, Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, C++ Cloud & Data: Azure, GCP, AWS, SQL & NoSQL Databases, Redis
