About Vikram Sundaram
I’m an Engineering Manager who loves building product teams. I focus on creating environments where engineers feel supported, decisions feel grounded in customer impact, and execution is steady and predictable.I\'m great at three things: product intuition, cross-org influence, and execution rigor. I’m often the person who brings scattered partners together, gets everyone aligned on the real problem, and can help drive teams together successfully. I care deeply about people, and I put just as much energy into coaching, culture, and growth as I do into delivery.At Microsoft, I lead a distributed team, building UX in the Azure Portal for Core Compute services. Our team builds experiences where the Fundamentals (performance, reliability, accessibility, and security) are table stakes and we have the opportunity to impact builders, globally. I’m at my best in product engineering roles where tight collaboration across PM, Design, and Engineering is essential—and where the work is both technically interesting and customer-shaping.

My core strength is bringing stakeholders together, sharpening focus on the right problems, and driving execution with clarity and high engineering rigor.Focus Areas• Partnering with product, design, and research to define vision and roadmap across a broad portfolio of compute resources.• Leading a multi-team engineering group, coaching engineers from SDE I through Principal, and improving execution through accountability, clear communication, and well-defined operating systems.• Improving clarity, usability, reliability, and performance for experiences used by students, startups, and global enterprises.I believe that great experiences in the Azure Portal empower customers to build, innovate, and solve the world’s hardest challenges.
