Top SchoolAkshar Ranka is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building embedded and cloud services, currently contributing to Azure Cognitive Search at Microsoft from Fremont, CA. He holds an M.S. in Computer Engineering with an embedded systems focus from San Jose State University and began his career writing low-level firmware and drivers for ARM and STM32 platforms. Across six years at Aruba (HPE) and earlier hardware-focused roles, he has bridged firmware optimization and large-scale cloud product development, demonstrating a rare full-stack fluency from device to cloud. Known for performance-minded engineering, he brings a practical habit of prototyping simulations and tools (e.g., Windows simulation utilities) to reduce hardware trial-and-error. Comfortable in both C/C++ embedded contexts and cloud-scale services, he blends systems thinking with hands-on delivery.
