Saurabh Shandilya is a Principal Engineer at Microsoft with 11 years of experience building AI-first systems, agent orchestration, and secure LLM tooling, after progressing from founding roles and a CTO stint at Veda Labs. He blends deep systems and hardware instincts—rooted in embedded and Linux hardware work—with cloud-native architecture and machine learning productization. A hacker-turned-leader, he has hands-on experience designing IoT backends, vision and video analytics pipelines, and specialized device-server communication for high-throughput ML workloads. Based in Delhi, he pairs a passion for human behavior with technical curiosity, often iterating in “loops of testing” and learning systems design and architecture. Unusually, his background spans both low-level power electronics research at Carnegie Mellon and high-scale agentic orchestration at Microsoft, giving him a rare cross-layer perspective.
