Software Engineer II at Microsoft
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaurav Saini is a cloud-native Software Engineer II with a decade of experience building microservices, serverless and distributed systems across companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Zoomcar and Philips. He programs daily in Rust, Go and Python, and ships full-stack utilities using Vue.js, Node.js and ASP.NET Core—many of which are open-source on his personal Git server. Known for minimizing "unknown unknowns," he focuses on scalable, maintainable architectures, auto-scaling orchestration and design principles that future-proof services. Currently based in Calgary, he blends large‑company production experience with hands‑on consulting stints to solve practical engineering problems. An autodidact who learns by doing, he digs into Rust’s source, studies Go and C++ references, and explores quantum computing in his spare time. His curiosity-driven approach and habit of building small, reusable tools make him a pragmatic engineer who favors concrete experiments over abstract theorizing.
