Women Who Inspire: Meet Janani Vasudevan

Here is the link. 

What are your biggest career and personal achievements?

In my career, I’ve been fortunate to work in both India and the US, both as an individual contributor and a manager. I’ve been lucky to work on some of the most interesting projects at Microsoft. Some of those are:

  • Co-developing the Azure Service Operator for Kubernetes with customers -  working with customers directly and adapting what I build to them is something I love!
  • Building a team to develop the first version of the Azure Customer Lockbox service - I’m always excited with a challenge, in this case, it was building a new team and a new service ground up, and all within 6 months!
  • Leading the creation of the mobile device management client for Windows 8 - I am especially proud of this as this was something I led as a new product manager, after 9 years of engineering experience.

As for personal achievements, I love that I can make time to mentor through the Global Giveback circle outside of work. Apart from projects, I also pride myself in mentoring and coaching many engineers and PMs, helping them grow in their career. I also a member of the Microsoft Commercial Software Engineering Ambassador Program, where I get involved in Women tech communities to foster more opportunities for inclusivity in our organization.

There, I have the chance to share stories of my work and personal experiences in the industry which has helped to provide me with a wide range of perspectives.
