About

I’m a Principal Applied Science Manager at Microsoft, leading the science team behind Visual Studio Code’s Agent Mode. My team is pioneering the next generation of AI coding agents—intelligent collaborators that understand code, context, and intent to help developers work faster and smarter.

We explore cutting-edge areas like language models, reasoning over large codebases, and autonomous code workflows, aiming to transform how developers interact with their tools. Our work builds upon VS Code and GitHub Copilot ecosystem, pushing it toward a new era of agentic software development.
