Hi, my name is Rohan. Welcome to my website! This website is entirely vibe-coded :)

I'm super passionate about AI and software engineering. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Florida. I currently live in Manhattan, New York City, and I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Outside of work, I love traveling, going to music festivals, and playing pickleball.

Rohan Samanta

Software Engineer @ Microsoft / Xbox

I'm a full-stack software engineer at Microsoft on the Xbox team, specializing in console. I work across the entire stack, from building Xbox Console Store UI in React + TypeScript to core platform work deep in the console OS in C++ and C#, shipping shell-level features down to kernel-level system APIs. My work spans console, PC, web, and cloud gaming, and the features I build ship to millions of consoles worldwide.
