About Shiv Bijlani

I build AI-powered products that help people work better. Currently focused on Copilot for work scenarios across M365, bringing intelligent scheduling, hybrid-work insights, and collaboration features into Teams, Outlook, and beyond.I\'ve spent the last several years incubating 0→1 products at Microsoft: Microsoft Places (hybrid-work intelligence), Calendar AI (natural-language scheduling with Microsoft Research), and Copilot integrations that weave AI into everyday workflows. I care deeply about privacy, compliance, and building things that actually solve customer pain points.On the side, I tinker with SWE agents, MCP integrations, and eval-driven development. I mentor through ADA Developers Academy and Mentors in Tech, and I hold patents in asynchronous meeting coordination and intelligent time-blocking.Full-stack across TypeScript.NET, React, and Azure. I like building things from scratch and shipping them.
