Husk Power Systems has been recognized for its innovative use of artificial intelligence in the energy sector. They won the AI for the Planet Award for their solutions that address climate change and benefit people. As an advisor, I defined and drove the architecture and engineering systems. I also helped bootstrap the team.

I drive innovation in machine learning infrastructure for the Monetization Ads team. I built a robust platform that dramatically enhances model development efficiency. My past projects include:* MPC-Based Ad Measurement: Spearheaded the creation of an MPC-based measurement system, directly resulting in multimillion-dollar increases in recurring ad revenue.* High-Performance Analytics Engine: Developed a query execution infrastructure that delivers low-latency, high-volume data analyses (1M qps, 100 ms response, near-real-time updates).* Leadership & Team Empowerment: I actively mentor and support leaders, fostering a culture of collaboration and autonomy within teams.

Oversaw large, interdisciplinary teams of software engineers and data scientists at Microsoft, driving pivotal advancements in machine learning and data management. Key achievements include:* Championed Azure AutoML's Performance Enhancement: I spearheaded a major initiative to boost Azure AutoML’s capabilities, which democratizes machine learning by efficiently identifying optimal ML pipelines from a broad array of possibilities. My efforts led to marked improvements in both efficiency and accuracy of the machine learning models recommended by AutoML. Furthermore, I successfully orchestrated the integration of this innovative technology across Microsoft’s data product ecosystem, including Azure SQL and PowerBI. My leadership in this area not only enhanced product functionality but also reinforced Microsoft’s stature as a frontrunner in artificial intelligence and machine learning.* Pioneered Interactive Query Product Development for Massive Data Sets: I led the development of an interactive query system capable of handling trillions of rows of data, seamlessly integrating this technology into PowerBI. My leadership spanned multiple domains—storage technology, query generation, statistical modeling, and user experience—resulting in a robust product that significantly improved data handling and user interaction capabilities.
