Message

At Microsoft, I deliver AI-powered Microsoft 365 experiences that help enterprise users discover people, expertise, and organizational insights across Teams and Outlook. I drove end-to-end delivery of People Companion and organizational experiences, from feature development and experimentation through staged rollouts and telemetry-driven optimization.

I also built capabilities for Noise Monitor and Noise Triage Bench, including KQL-driven analytics and service-health dashboards. I bring accessibility into product work through ARIA enhancements and screen-reader support, and I investigate production issues using telemetry and root-cause analysis.
