Top SchoolAnurag Saxena is a Principal Software Engineer based in Redmond with over 15 years of professional experience and a strong foundation from IIT Kanpur in CSE. He has deep expertise in systems and networking—ranging from ATCA shelf management and high-availability designs to servicing TCP/IP and NDIS stacks across multiple Windows releases. At Microsoft he progressed from Windows Sustained Engineering to principal-level work, contributing to the eBPF-for-Windows project by implementing and hardening the ebpfservice RPC layer and refactoring API libraries to support program verification and loading. A pragmatic C/C++ systems engineer, he combines hands-on low-level implementation with an eye for maintainability and cross-component integration. Colleagues know him for quietly fixing build breaks and improving code quality, a trait that surfaces in both product releases and open-source contributions.
