Hi! I'm Rishabh, a Staff Engineer at Microsoft with 16+ years of experience building products that serve millions of users. Throughout my career, I've worked across full-stack engineering, mobile development, distributed systems, cloud platforms, and, more recently, Generative AI and AI Agents.
Over the past few years, I've focused heavily on building enterprise AI solutions using LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI, and modern cloud architectures. I enjoy turning complex business problems into practical AI-powered products that create real impact.
Beyond coding, I love mentoring engineers. I've helped developers grow from individual contributors into senior engineers and tech leads, prepared candidates for interviews at top technology companies, reviewed resumes, and guided professionals through career transitions. I've also worked closely with startups as a technical mentor, helping founders make architecture decisions, build MVPs, and scale engineering teams.
My mentoring style is practical and personalized. Rather than focusing only on theory, I like working through real-world problems; whether that's designing scalable systems, improving engineering skills, preparing for interviews, building AI applications, or planning long-term career growth. I'll challenge your thinking, share lessons from my own experiences, and help you build confidence along the way.
Whether you're looking to break into software engineering, become a senior engineer, learn modern AI development, prepare for system design interviews, or grow into a technical leadership role, I'd be happy to support your journey.
You tell Rishabh your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Rishabh reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
