Product Designer II
Microsoft
https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft
During my time at Microsoft I worked as a product designer on the Microsoft Edge Incubation team. Microsoft Edge Chromium was launched in 2019 as Microsoft’s brand new browser built from the ground up for speed, compatibility, safety, privacy, and productivity.

My role and responsibilities were extensive — from owning product areas such as Safety & Security, Collaboration, Policy & Management, to taking charge of making major contributions to product feature spaces such as Application Guard for Edge, Microsoft Editor in Edge, as well as Workspaces.
My contributions to the Edge Chromium browser resulted in measurable customer success and business impact — driving user engagement, browser share of minutes, and enterprise partner success.

I worked closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, and Legal to craft experiences for our users ranging across the consumer and enterprise landscape. I designed features used by millions of Edge users in practice today and contributed to the relationship between Microsoft’s Office suite of products and Edge Chromium to help foster a browsing experience centered around safety, collaboration, and productivity.

Microsoft
https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft
I was a part of the Edge at Work team under WE (Windows Engagement) and C&AI (Cloud and Artificial Intelligence). Edge at work is a dynamic team working on building the next generation of productivity experiences in the workplace. 

Understanding what productivity means to different industries as they evolve into the collaborative workspaces of the future helps fuel the ideation and production of new internet-powered experiences. 

Microsoft’s Edge Internet browser is the medium by which users will access the intelligent cloud. 

In the summer of 2018 I explored what productivity might look like in the classroom of the future, and how Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft’s Office suite of productivity apps could work together to facilitate these new collaborative productivity experiences.

        I had the pleasure of mentoring Aaditya during his time as an intern at Microsoft. He came in with a huge enthusiasm for the role and brought that energy to work every day. Over the course of a few months Aaditya was able to take some very complex problem spaces and work within our team to design and present ideas that were grounded and thoughtful. It was great seeing him grow as a designer over those months and there's no doubt he's got a bright career ahead.

        Nuance Communications employed Aaditya as a summer intern working for the Program Management Office (PMO) in the HealthCare Division. He attended company meetings, PMO team calls and Product Delivery Team (PDT) meetings. Aaditya worked full time for approximately 3 months on a variety of projects/assignments. His assignments were in the areas of process improvements, recovery projects related to the malware incident that Nuance was subjected to and tool assessment/improvement projects. With respect to process improvements, Aaditya created a Final Security Review (FSR) Template in Confluence to drive the implementation and tracking of a Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC). Another process improvement was the re-structuring of the Product Delivery Process (PDP) checklist to be used for incremental releases as they apply to an Agile SDLC. Aaditya was asked to take the lead in getting Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s) signed by several 3rd party vendors and their contractors, who were hired by Nuance to assist in the remediation efforts from the malware incident. He also identified and mapped critical tools that needed to be recovered to fully implement the Product Delivery Process. Lastly Aaditya was assigned several projects related to tool assessment/improvement, including Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint workflow and Meeting Minute authoring tools.
Aaditya is an intelligent and motivated individual. He took on a variety of different projects, asking for clarification when needed. He also showed significant initiative and drive in how he pursued the needed result. Aaditya was very reliable and demonstrated a very good attention to detail. Aaditya became a respected member of the PMO team and should do very well in his future endeavors.
