Working on awesome AI, ML, NLP, KR, Emotion, Sentiment, and Language Representation (LR) as well as react-based website development, Azure-backed dotnet services. Always interested in tech that will eventually lead toward more natural Conversational AI.Brought AI employee productivity to MS Employees through internal projects, and CrossCodex. Org leader in GPT, AI efforts and initiatives, including deep data democratization, feedback triage, GPT prompt improvements, efficiencies, and systems based on them, GPT analyzation of anonymous customer trends, and others.Some GPT creations: Created natural language to Kusto, SQL, OCV, other data lakes, retrieval using RAG, prompt injection, prompt tool interaction, data retrieval/interaction, and even GPT self-healing rules (to auto improve over time). Created pre-GPT and GPT+embeddings feedback triage systems handling millions of entries.

Leading the Impossible Mission Forces team named App Ninjas at Microsoft.Solving big-partner (most you know and use daily!) issues, both 1:1 and at scale when they cannot. Our focus is on ensuring partner success, with their definition. When there are issues they cannot solve, our elite team steps in to assist, in the way they need.Partner app success is our success.

Created frameworks to optimize testing and operations as well as integrating a face-recognition system into a high-profile application.Key Projects & Achievements: • Initiated, architected, designed and developed an efficient parallel multidimensional test framework. This work helped ship an external offering and is the core of Functional Tests for an upcoming product. This work won an award and was highlighted across Bing and MSN.• Initiated, architected, designed and developed an operations portal saving developers time and ensuring quality. This work also won an award and was highlighted across Bing and MSN.• Improved and integrated a face-recognition system into a high-profile application in an extremely short timeframe.• Took ownership of, reigned-in and redesigned the full outlook.com and msn.com CDN system. Initial reactive work potentially saved Microsoft hundreds of thousands of dollars of ad revenue.• Directed a team to automate very time consuming deployment and operations processes, saving time and money while improving quality.• Directed a v-team to improve performance for multiple customer-facing applications by 3750%. Feedback: “Huge win.”

“Successful evolution is driven by successful experimentation.” MSN experiments all the time, on features, social, visual, interactive and many factors. The click results determine if the feature continues to production, gets redesigned, implemented or (rarely) dropped. These experiments range from simple to complex, insertions, overwrites or rewrites. This is the cutting edge of MSN evolution. The potential for success or failure is significant. My team and I both contribute and support dramatic, rapid changes as well as ensure significant quality. We use whichever development fits for the deliverable (highly agile), and ship in weekly cycles. We deliver to billions of people in 27 markets – it’s got to be good.We also improve the way we approach experiments to take them on much faster while being even more efficient than we are now (automation, frameworks)."No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” –Albert Einstein

Created, designed and developed critical editing, ingesting, publishing applications for MSN Editors and Publishers in order to be published on MSN.com.Key Projects & Achievements: • Designed, Developed and Integrated an updated recreation of an In Context Editor (critical feature of web app) in only 5% of the original size while dramatically improving the architecture and quality (events, maintainable, plugins). Delivered in ¼” of externally quoted time also potentially saving $300k.• Shipped numerous waves with key features including AppEx, Touch-Mobile-Experience and other previews.• Created new full webapp sections including Content Library for editor/publisher use.• Recommended many times by test as how to properly attribute and instrument development code for dramatically increased test quality.• Created new architecture for test in order to significantly speed up time-to-test. This is their whole base for testing still today.• Admin: Converted all (huge/backdated) team projects to VS2012, Code Contracts, plus. [Found side-by-side issues in VS, worked with VS team to solve – fixes now shipped in VS2012].• Individually won 3rd place across all Bing+MSN hack-day with Facebook-integration(rewrite) of MSN Homepage (rewrote all content with Facebook-matching liked/plus stories – tailoring it to you).

Designed and Developed Key Shell Features for Oslo’s Quadrant, Microsoft’s new Universal Modeling Tool using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and an advanced internal dataflow engine.Key Projects & Achievements: • Created, designed and developed the visual ribbon (components, behaviors, events, styles, and developer API) in WPF for Quadrant.• Created and implemented the application’s styling system which was well received and very easily consumed by Product Managers as well as by developers implementing it.• Designed and developed an advanced and highly visual Drag and Drop system and API for Quadrant.• Recognized as the local expert in Windows Presentation Foundation development across our extended team.• Patented: Contributed to and listed as an author of a pending patent in a WPF use.

Designed & Led Software Product Development, receiving the 2006 Product of the Year for Electronic House magazine.
