About

As a Partner Applied Science Manager in Microsoft CoreAI, I lead an applied research team that measurably boosts developer productivity with ML and AI. We evolve GitHub Copilot in Completion, Chat, Code Review, and agentic workflows by continuously refining models and applying in-context learning for deeper, context-aware assistance.

Key research and engineering challenges include:

  • Elevating LLM quality for developer-centric tasks via iterative training, feedback loops and real-world usage signals.

  • Harnessing code structure and context— leveraging syntax, semantics and repository context enrich both training and inference.

  • Scaling responsive code generation to enable fast, interactive experiences for millions of developers.

I thrive at the intersection of cutting-edge research and large-scale deployment, turning AI breakthroughs into tools that make every developer more effective.
