Rahul Devikar – Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft

With over 10 years of experience in designing, building, and optimizing large-scale AI platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-native solutions, I specialize in delivering secure, scalable, and high-impact software. My work spans AI-driven innovations, enterprise system design, and cloud architecture, with notable contributions to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce connectors, and large-scale data integrations.


πŸš€ Core Expertise & Impact

Agent 365 SDK

  • Core contributor and maintainer of Agent 365, an open-source platform that simplifies AI agent management, security, and integration in enterprise environments.
  • Maintains Python, JavaScript, and .NET SDKs, along with DevTools and CLI integrations.
  • Since its launch at Microsoft Ignite 2025, Agent 365 has surpassed 11,000 downloads and is actively used by thousands of developers across the globe.
  • Authored multiple technical articles on Agent 365, establishing best practices for enterprise AI integration and positioning myself as a thought leader in this space.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Federated Knowledge Integration

  • Built and optimized knowledge connectors bringing enterprise data (SharePoint, Salesforce, Dataverse) into Microsoft 365 Copilot for AI consumption.
  • Improved Salesforce connector reliability from 70% to 95% success rate through bug resolution and intelligent NL2SQ fallback mechanisms.
  • Enabled thousands of developers to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with custom agents while maintaining enterprise security.
  • Users now get AI-powered answers from enterprise data sources with 95% reliability, improving knowledge discovery and decision-making.

Database Optimization

  • Migrated analytics metadata from standalone Cosmos DB to enterprise shared infrastructure across 20+ metadata types.
  • Re-architected database schema eliminating 2MB document limitations and thread-safety issues.
  • Optimized query patterns removing unnecessary index files.
  • Implemented intelligent retry logic with exponential backoff for API rate limiting.
  • Reduced daily infrastructure costs from $2,500 to $270 (>90% savings).

Quality Engineering

  • Built automated E2E test suite running 100 prompts across 6+ knowledge sources after every code check-in.
  • Implemented island-specific testing for ML model deployment.
  • Created offline validation framework for pre-release testing.
  • Designed alert system for knowledge source-specific failures.
  • Detected critical regressions before production (including secondary region failure).

Security & Reliability

  • Blocked vulnerable model deployments by integrating security scanning into the pipeline.
  • Fixed production debugging enabling distributed tracing.
  • Implemented proactive monitoring detecting failures before customer reports.
  • Reduced log noise by 30,000+ lines daily improving troubleshooting efficiency.

Multi-Cloud

  • Extended platform to Government Cloud (GCC) and sovereign clouds.
  • Modernized CI/CD with YAML-based pipelines.
  • Implemented security compliance with OpenTelemetry and audit logging.

Insights Apps Platform (IAP) Orchestration

  • Designed and shipped a Service Fabric-based orchestrator for IAP that coordinated long-running ML/data pipelines (minutes β†’ multi-week).
  • Scaled to hundreds of TB processed through MEF batch/online inference paths.
  • Unified batch + online model execution by standardizing MEF entry points and operational APIs.
  • Instrumented orchestration for observability and failure isolation across multi-stage pipelines; implemented retries, checkpointing, and guarded rollouts.
  • Integrated Dataverse/Dynamics application user management for first-party Insights Apps (roles, identities, access paths).
  • Drove Secure Future Initiative (SFI) compliance for IAP services (governed release pipelines, safe secrets, MSI onboarding, vulnerability management).
  • Established repeatable test-cluster rollout for rapid developer iteration on IAP.

πŸ† Leadership & Recognition

  • Featured work in Forbes, The Verge, CNBC, and Tech.co in enterprise AI and cloud computing.
  • Actively mentor engineers and contribute to open-source communities.

πŸ“ Key Achievements

  • Cost Reduction: 90%+ savings ($2,500 β†’ $270 daily infrastructure costs).
  • Reliability Improvement: 70% β†’ 95% success rate for Salesforce connector.
  • Zero-Downtime Migration: 99% of production traffic migrated successfully with no escalations.
  • Security Enhancement: 83% reduction in RDP access (1,200 β†’ 200 requests/month).
  • Quality Assurance: 100-prompt automated E2E tests across 6+ knowledge sources.
  • Log Reduction: 30,000+ lines of noise eliminated daily.
  • ML Pipeline Orchestration: Scaled Service Fabric orchestrator to process hundreds of TB through MEF batch/online inference paths.
  • Developer Enablement: Created integration samples for Semantic Kernel, OpenAI, and multiple agent frameworks.
  • Production Incident Prevention: Proactive migration from failing legacy system preventing major outage.
  • Database Optimization: Re-architected Cosmos DB schema eliminating 2MB document limitations.
  • Platform Standardization: Unified batch + online model execution reducing fragmentation across ML teams.
  • Security Compliance: Drove Secure Future Initiative (SFI) compliance for IAP services.
