About Suhas Rao

Top-performing Azure App Innovation and GitHub Copilot specialist with 15+ years at Microsoft, passionate about empowering developers and transforming how engineering teams build software. With deep expertise across Azure App Dev, AI-powered development, and modern delivery practices, I focus on designing scalable architectures, running hands-on modernization sprints, and helping customers realise measurable engineering outcomes.In the past few years, I have led several high-impact programs, including the GitHub Copilot Adoption Challenge and the evolution toward Agentic DevOps. I work extensively across Azure OpenAI, prompting, RAG, LLMOps, and more recently agentic workflows that connect planning, build, test, and operations. This has enabled me to partner closely with top FSI customers and global teams to drive AI transformation, improve developer productivity, and demonstrate repeatable success patterns that are now being scaled globally.Having lived and worked across India, the US, and Australia, I bring strong cross-cultural experience, technical depth, and proven delivery across complex, high-demand engagements. My passion for “doing it right the first time,” combined with curiosity for new technologies, continues to help me guide teams, solve hard engineering problems, and create lasting impact for customers worldwide.
