About Rajkishore Sahoo

With 15 years of experience in software development, architecture, and delivery, I specialize in building scalable, resilient systems across domains like enterprise content management, procurement, and ads platform. I’ve led product development from scratch, migrated monoliths to microservices, and designed frameworks that improved performance, scalability, and onboarding efficiency. Currently at Microsoft Ads (ATS), I drive editorial systems that process billions of ad texts, ensuring trust and safety across global markets. I’m passionate about mentoring, cross-team collaboration, and solving complex engineering challenges with elegant, scalable solutions.
