Over the past decade at Microsoft, Iโ€™ve led platform strategy, launched AI-powered V1 products, and built evaluation & governance frameworks that enable safe deployment of generative AI at enterprise scale.

My focus: designing product metrics for deepening user engagement, and shaping product roadmaps around conversation experiences, recommendation quality, and personalization.
