About Rajat Anand
Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and scaling backend and distributed systems at Microsoft and Intel. Strong background in real-time messaging, event-driven architectures, and high-reliability services on Azure.At Microsoft, I’ve worked on large-scale systems including Kaizala (1M+ MAU) and Microsoft 365 Copilot. My work spans WebSockets, notifications, distributed caching, secure authentication systems, and Azure-native services such as AKS, Event Hubs, Service Bus, Redis, and Cosmos DB.I’ve led small engineering teams, owned end-to-end system design and delivery, and driven initiatives from architecture through production. I’m a Microsoft Global Hackathon 2023 winner, where I led the development of an AKS-based AI middleware platform showcased to Satya Nadella. I enjoy working on high-scale backend systems, complex distributed problems, and reliability challenges in cloud-native environments.
