Saurav Majumder

I'm a results-driven Senior Engineering Manager at Microsoft, with a track record of innovation and leadership across my career. Currently, I lead a team of exceptionally talented software engineers, shaping the next generation of platform experiences for Microsoft Teams users.

Throughout my tenure at Microsoft, I've played pivotal roles, from leading core experiences that power Teams' extensible components to driving performance improvements, scalability, and data-driven decision-making. I've successfully delivered critical projects, such as Line-of-business application capabilities in Teams and low-code/no-code app development with Power Platform.

Before Microsoft, I honed my skills at Citrix, where I spearheaded various frontend and backend features, including a data analytics pipeline and pioneering 'smart' features with machine learning.

My journey began with co-founding startups and research roles, earning accolades like the Academic Achievement Award from the University of Florida and being a national finalist in the World Skill Competition.

I'm passionate about technology and innovation, committed to mentoring, and thrive on solving complex challenges. Let's connect to explore new possibilities and collaborations.
