As part of the Financial Services team within Microsoft Cloud for Industry, I am working on a range of AI-driven and DevOps-focused projects designed to improve productivity, reduce manual effort, and deliver intelligent solutions to enterprise customers. Key contributions include:
AI Copilots
1. Financial News Copilot:
Designed and developed an AI-based Copilot that summarizes and presents real-time financial news to users. It allows natural language queries and returns structured, relevant insights — improving decision-making speed for financial analysts.
2. Domain-specific Copilot with RAG:
Created a specialized Copilot by:
a. Scraping structured and unstructured data from trusted financial websites.
b. Integrating a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline that combines LLM reasoning with custom dataset search, ensuring high accuracy and relevancy of answers.
c. Supporting semantic search and query refinement for better user experience.
DevOps & Automation
1. Azure DevOps Pipelines:
Developed and maintained YAML pipelines to automate:
a. Solution migration across environments (e.g., dev → test → prod).
b. Pull request validation (including static checks).
c. Artifact packaging and deployment.
d. These pipelines improved reliability and reduced deployment time.
2. User and Environment Migration Automation:
Authored PowerShell scripts to:
a. Extract and migrate users, roles, environment variables, and metadata from one tenant to another.
b. Enable automated failover in case of tenant expiry.
This replaced error-prone manual work and ensured business continuity.
LLM Evaluation & Analytics
a. Built an LLM evaluation tool that:
b. Parses chat transcripts from AI copilots.
c. Calculates quality metrics (e.g. helpfulness, accuracy, precision, summarization) based on use case.
d. Outputs results to a Power BI dashboard for easy review by product and engineering teams.
This enabled faster tuning of models and better visibility into Copilot performance.
