I am a Software Development Engineer II working at Microsoft. I have done my Masters in Computer Science from Indiana University Bloomington and Bachelors in Computer Engineering from University Of Mumbai. Previously I have worked at Amazon Web Services for EC2, Orbitz/Expedia, Deloitte and interned at the American Institute For Research.
I have very good knowledge and experience in software requirements gathering and have been involved in the development of projects from its nascent stages. Hence I have a very good understanding of the software development life cycle and am very familiar with working in Agile teams having two week sprints. I have experience working in stringent time lines and pressure situations and am very proficient in working in a team based environments and  have very good analytical and verbal communication skills, which I feel are very important qualities which an individual in any field should possess.

        Aamin served as my mentor and an outstanding example of leadership during my 3 years of working together with him in the Microsoft Rewards team. He was my go to person to discussing architectural design or just simply voicing ideas for how to improve our systems and customer experiences. I had joined the team after graduating college and I credit my technical skills and passion for quality code to be fostered by Aamin's guidance. His passion for throughly thought out code and hard work always puts him beyond any placed expectations and I am sure he would be an exceptional technical lead and engineer at any team or company he contributes you. I look forward to when we get to work together again someday Aamin!  Nandhini Kohareswaran
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I had the pleasure of working with Aamin at Microsoft. Aamin was always very hard working, committed and passionate about the product. What stands out is definitely his passion for product quality and engineering best practices. This, I believe, will make him a very valuable member of any engineering team he is part of. I hope our paths cross again.
