About Pankaj Naik
I currently work at Microsoft as a Software Engineer II in the Azure DocumentDB team, where I contribute to building and improving large-scale distributed database systems that power cloud-native applications on Azure. My work focuses on designing reliable, high-performance services and enhancing the scalability and resilience of the platform that supports mission-critical workloads.Prior to Microsoft, I worked at Amazon, where I built and improved full-stack systems that supported highly scalable internal platforms. The work required designing robust backend services, developing intuitive front-end interfaces, and ensuring systems could handle large-scale production traffic while maintaining reliability and performance. This experience strengthened my ability to work in high-ownership environments and deliver solutions that balance system design, maintainability, and user impact.Earlier in my career at CGI, I contributed to enhancing a foundational enterprise application framework using technologies such as Java and ReactJS. My work involved developing API contracts, implementing security features, and helping improve the overall extensibility of the platform.I hold a degree in Information Technology from IIEST Shibpur, and I enjoy solving complex engineering problems, particularly in the areas of distributed systems, scalable backend architectures, and cloud infrastructure.
