## About

I'm Dhruv Mishra, a software engineer based in India. I work at Microsoft on the M365 Shell Team, focusing on systems that have to be fast, reliable, and boring in production. CS & Applied Math graduate from IIIT Delhi, Codeforces Expert, and a hobbyist across gym, chess, PC overclocking, and longevity research.

Current role: Software Engineer at Microsoft on the M365 Shell Team (since June 2024, Noida, India). The Shell service handles identity and user data at 7B+ hits per day. I work with C++ and C# on enterprise encryption flows, including PDF encryption for Office docs across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — sandboxed via a secure C# proxy + IPC architecture talking to Azure Rights Management. Cut infrastructure COGS by $240,000 annually by optimizing VM Scale Sets, log retention/replication, and Redis/Cosmos configurations. Also designed autonomous LLM + MCP server workflows for the Identity Management Service to automate internal platform tasks and accelerate incident mitigation.

Favorite language is C++. Core stack: TypeScript, C++, C#, Kotlin, Python, SQL, Java, JavaScript. Frameworks and tools include Android (Jetpack Compose, XML, Gradle, Maven), React, Next.js, Tailwind, OpenCV, scikit-learn, DevOps, Git, NPM, Azure, GCP, Nginx, Cloudflare, MCP, LLM tooling, RAG, embeddings, and cryptography. Comfortable across system design, distributed systems, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, REST APIs, databases, and machine learning.

This portfolio is a sketchbook-themed site built with Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind v4, and Framer Motion. It has an interactive retro terminal, an AI chat, a guestbook, and an unlockable sticker system. Georedundant deployment across Oracle Cloud, GCP, and Azure VMs with custom traffic routing, Nginx reverse proxies, Cloudflare caching, and separate GitHub Actions deployment pipelines — everything free, only paying for the domain.
