Priyanshu Agrawal
Software / Sites / Developer tools
Hi, I'm Priyanshu.
A Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, working on Power Pages. I build pro-developer tools and lead agentic authoring—helping people turn ideas into websites.
Bengaluru, India Glad you found your way here.
Engineer by profession.
Builder by nature.
From large-scale systems to small, useful tools.
A few things
I've helped bring into the world.
01 / Building now
Currently: Power Pages.
Developer tools & agentic
authoring.
Microsoft
Power Pages
NOW
I lead agentic authoring for Power Pages, developing AI skills that help developers scaffold, build, and deploy sites through conversational workflows.
Our Power Pages plugin is part of Microsoft's open-source Power Platform Skills repository, supporting modern frameworks including React, Angular, Vue, and Astro.

Microsoft
Pro-developer tools
I work on the pro-developer tooling behind Power Pages, including the Power Platform CLI (PAC CLI)—connecting local development with authentication, environments, and site deployment.
Microsoft
Editor experiences
Bringing Power Pages into the editor through the Power Platform Tools VS Code extension. My work spans pro-developer experiences and AI-assisted workflows that help developers build and ship sites faster.
02 / Earlier work
Earlier chapters — Bing, Copilot,
GE Digital &
Infosys
Microsoft
AI & developer tooling
An end-to-end testing framework for Copilot's LLM responses. Simple JSON test authoring, configurable assertions, and results right inside Azure DevOps—less manual testing before every release.
Microsoft
Identity at scale
Personal-account sign-in with OpenID Connect, cookie and bearer authentication. A custom ASP.NET Core serializer reduced authentication cookie size by 85%.
GE Digital
Industrial insights
Cloud-based asset health analytics and peer benchmarking. Redesigned data processing to cut ingestion time by 90%, with multi-level caching, resilient APIs, and a React frontend.
GE Digital
A React dashboard built from scratch for scheduled jobs, logs, and artifacts. Live job progress with SignalR, unit tests with React Testing Library, end-to-end UI tests, and a complete Jenkins CI/CD pipeline.
Infosys
Full-stack enhancements to the system connecting client projects, financials, and delivery teams. Built HTTP APIs and user interfaces, alongside impact analysis and user test documentation.
GE Digital / Under the hood
REST APIs with unit and end-to-end tests, in-memory and distributed caching, Polly retries, and JWT authentication with custom authorization policies. React hooks, DevExpress UI, and Protractor automation rounded out the frontend.
03 / Open source
Sometimes the best projects start with “I wish this were a
little easier.”
A few open-source ways I've scratched
that itch.
Visual Studio extension / Author
Wrap selected text in delimiters without breaking your flow. A tiny shortcut for something you do all the time.
Roslyn analyzer / Author
A little more consistency, automatically. An analyzer that spots and fixes asynchronous method names.
React component / Contributor
Making hierarchical data feel approachable, with searchable trees, selection pills, and partially selected nodes.
04 / The engineer
Priyanshu AgrawalEngineer. Learner. Fellow human.
I'm a full-stack engineer based in Bengaluru, India. My work spans large-scale distributed systems, web experiences, and the developer tools that make building them a little easier.
These days, I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft on Power Pages, within Power Platform. I lead agentic authoring and work on pro-developer tools, including PAC CLI and the Power Platform Tools VS Code extension.
That work spans the Power Pages AI plugin, SPA sites, samples, and templates. Before moving to Power Pages, I worked on Bing's frontend platform and Copilot testing, with earlier chapters at GE Digital and Infosys.
I enjoy learning new technologies, following a good question, and turning what I learn into something useful. I also share that work with the community as a Power Platform Community Conference speaker.
