Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNavin Agarwal is a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft with a 6-year trajectory in building browser platform features and real-time collaborative systems, currently driving the Fluid Framework used for distributed, real-time web applications. He combines deep systems and networking experience from Cisco with graduate research in OS security and virtualization from Stony Brook’s OSCAR lab, giving him a strong foundation in performance, isolation, and concurrency. At Microsoft he evolved Edge’s navigation and history subsystems and later focused on optimizing SharedSequence performance and batching behavior in the high-profile microsoft/FluidFramework repo. Known for diagnosing subtle concurrency and threading issues, he pairs low-level debugging skills with full-stack contributions that materially improve collaboration library efficiency. Based in Kirkland, WA, he blends production engineering at scale with a researcher’s attention to correctness and performance.
