Girish Konda

Principal Software Engineer · Microsoft Fabric

I'm the tech lead and architect for capacity management in Microsoft Fabric. My work spans distributed systems, multi-tenant platforms, enterprise security, and the infrastructure behind AI agents.

Outside my day-to-day platform work, I build open-source developer tools, contribute upstream, speak about reliability and agent workflows, and take part in peer review and judging.

Microsoft

Redmond, WA

Principal Software Engineer

– Present

At Microsoft Fabric, I lead capacity management: how a shared cloud platform allocates compute, measures consumption, and bills for it. My work connects that control plane with enterprise security and service reliability, and extends into MCP-based tools for engineering and incident investigation.

Amazon

Seattle, WA

Software Development Engineer

–

I built conversational systems for Amazon Customer Service, connecting pluggable ML models to a TensorFlow serving layer. We piloted the platform with support agents worldwide.

Software Development Engineer

–

At AWS, I worked with hardware and infrastructure teams on how data-center racks were allocated. Turning those planning constraints into software reduced manual work and made better use of the hardware.
