About

Building cool products in AI and NLP My areas of interest mostly include Applied AI, NLP and cloud services. Currently working on integrating cutting-edge NLP into the search domain @ Azure Cognitive Search, a full-text search solution for web and mobile platforms. We enable powerful search capabilities for large data volumes at a very high scale. It's a very fast growing business owned by a small team that dabbles in building cloud service infrastructure, information retrieval, NLP, direct customer engagement and product management. My technical career has given me opportunities to work on various products and services across organizations like Microsoft, Amazon and Google. I have built a strong technical background along with experience in designing and managing products. Delivering diverse services and platforms has enabled me to take a results driven approach and employ technical leadership to steer the product. I believe in setting clear expectations and goals to enable people around me to deliver maximum impact. Major projects include - • Synonyms, Autocomplete, API layer design etc. at Azure Cognitive Search • Charge service for Amazon returns • Automated web test and deployment framework for Google Analytics • Predictive storage health service for Windows 10
