   Led development of the Trials Hub experience in the Microsoft Sentinel Portal, collaborating across time zones with engineers, PMs, and designers. Established the foundational architecture to support parallel contributions and achieved 85%+ test coverage for long-term maintainability and reliability.• Delivered the SIEM Upsell feature, now in private preview and actively used by customers. This initiative streamlined onboarding for existing users, drove adoption, and deepened my understanding of Azure integration and internal systems through iterative, cross-functional collaboration.• Championed accessibility improvements across Sentinel Repositories by applying ARIA standards, enhancing screen reader compatibility, and supporting high-contrast modes. Worked closely with UX architects, PMs, and accessibility SMEs to ensure compliance and inclusive design.• Strengthened front-end expertise in React, TypeScript, and FluentUI (v8/v9), while contributing to UI bug fixes and accessibility testing. Gained confidence in writing unit tests and debugging complex UI flows.• Prepared for and handled on-call responsibilities, including a Sev 2 incident where I co-led mitigation, authored a detailed postmortem, and implemented preventative fixes — demonstrating readiness and resilience under pressure.• Contributed to live site reliability, participating in retrospectives, improving test coverage, and enhancing incident response documentation (TSGs). Advocated for better tooling and proactive monitoring practices.• Actively engaged in team retrospectives and accessibility syncs, offering feedback, sharing knowledge, and mentoring peers on accessibility and testing best practices.
