# Manisha Katkam > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/manisha Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable, user-focused web applications and platforms. I’ve worked across the stack and enjoy turning complex problems into clean, reliable systems. I believe in continuously developing skill-set, curious about analyzing the problems and finding the most effective solution. My experience includes the following: 1. I bring strong experience in frontend engineering (React, JavaScript, modern UI architectures) along with backend development, APIs, and system design. I care deeply about code quality, performance, and maintainability. 2. Translate functional requirements into robust, efficient, supportable solutions that work well within the overall system architecture. 3. Participate in the full development cycle, end-to-end, from design, implementation, and testing to documentation, delivery and maintenance. Skill set: Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML5, SQL, React Amazon Web Services: S3, EC2, SNS, SQS, License Manager Azure Service Health, Azure Resource Health, Azure Cosmos DB ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2021 – Jan 2025 Led the transition of sensitive Azure Security Advisories from a manual email-based process to a secure RBAC-protected interface; navigated breaking changes, coordinated the deployment strategy and cross-functional alignment, resulting in a 95% reduction in notification latency and near real-time visibility for authorized admins. Link here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-health/security-advisories-elevated-access#who-can-view-security-advisories Implemented the 'Security Advisories - Impacted Resources' feature in Azure Service Health, enforcing RBAC-based access controls and enabling customers to securely view affected resources for security advisories directly in the portal for the first time. Link here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-health/impacted-resources-security Migrated Azure Portal for Service Health from a legacy classic UI to a modern React and Typescript architecture, rewriting multiple customer-facing workflows like Create Support Request, Submit Feedback etc. and improved page load performance from approximately 69 seconds to less than 4 seconds. Led and owned the end-to-end migration of the Azure Service Health to Portal SDKV2, successfully eliminating legacy technical debt and reducing build overhead by an estimated 20–30% to significantly accelerate team's feature velocity. Led the investigation into front-end performance bottlenecks, authoring a comprehensive optimization plan that utilized asynchronous data-fetching and skeleton (Shimmer) screens to enhance the 'Time to Interactive' and elevate user experience and to significantly improve perceived latency and Lighthouse performance scores. Investigated and designed backend observability migration from IFX to Open Telemetry, defining a safe migration strategy to modernize metrics and logging without disrupting existing telemetry pipelines. ### Software Development Engineer @ Amazon Web Services (AWS) Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Palo Alto, California, United States Participated in the design, development, implementation, testing and documentation of distributed software service AWS License Manager using Java, and React Led the end-to-end development of AWS License Manager’s Shared AMI feature, allowing license enforcement for shared AMIs by enabling license configuration attachments that automatically evaluate rules at EC2 instance launch, enforce compliance across accounts, and track usage for audit and cost control.
