I spent three years at Microsoft working on the PowerApps Runtime team. I was focused on the Runtime of the PowerApps application, which can be considered the "back-end of the front-end," namely creating and making API calls, pre-processing data to feed to the front-end, and determining scripts that would run client-side or server-side based on optimization and efficiency. I left Microsoft as a Software Engineer II in October 2019.
Most of my projects involved piping data from different internal teams within PowerApps, requiring coordination between team leads. Once all teams signed off on the change, I would implement the data flow from the API call to the client code.
Tools Used
- C# for server-side code.
- Typescript for runtime code.
- (limited exposure)React for client-side code.
- Postman for API debugging.
