With over 10 years of experience in designing, building, and optimizing large-scale AI platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-native solutions, I specialize in delivering secure, scalable, and high-impact software. My work spans AI-driven innovations, enterprise system design, and cloud architecture, with notable contributions to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce connectors, and large-scale data integrations.
- Core contributor and maintainer of Agent 365, an open-source platform that simplifies AI agent management, security, and integration in enterprise environments.
- Maintains Python, JavaScript, and .NET SDKs, along with DevTools and CLI integrations.
- Since its launch at Microsoft Ignite 2025, Agent 365 has surpassed 11,000 downloads and is actively used by thousands of developers across the globe.
- Authored multiple technical articles on Agent 365, establishing best practices for enterprise AI integration and positioning myself as a thought leader in this space.

- Built and optimized knowledge connectors bringing enterprise data (SharePoint, Salesforce, Dataverse) into Microsoft 365 Copilot for AI consumption.
- Improved Salesforce connector reliability from 70% to 95% success rate through bug resolution and intelligent NL2SQ fallback mechanisms.
- Enabled thousands of developers to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with custom agents while maintaining enterprise security.
- Users now get AI-powered answers from enterprise data sources with 95% reliability, improving knowledge discovery and decision-making.
- Migrated analytics metadata from standalone Cosmos DB to enterprise shared infrastructure across 20+ metadata types.
- Re-architected database schema eliminating 2MB document limitations and thread-safety issues.
- Optimized query patterns removing unnecessary index files.
- Implemented intelligent retry logic with exponential backoff for API rate limiting.
- Reduced daily infrastructure costs from $2,500 to $270 (>90% savings).
- Built automated E2E test suite running 100 prompts across 6+ knowledge sources after every code check-in.
- Implemented island-specific testing for ML model deployment.
- Created offline validation framework for pre-release testing.
- Designed alert system for knowledge source-specific failures.
- Detected critical regressions before production (including secondary region failure).
- Blocked vulnerable model deployments by integrating security scanning into the pipeline.
- Fixed production debugging enabling distributed tracing.
- Implemented proactive monitoring detecting failures before customer reports.
- Reduced log noise by 30,000+ lines daily improving troubleshooting efficiency.
- Extended platform to Government Cloud (GCC) and sovereign clouds.
- Modernized CI/CD with YAML-based pipelines.
- Implemented security compliance with OpenTelemetry and audit logging.
- Designed and shipped a Service Fabric-based orchestrator for IAP that coordinated long-running ML/data pipelines (minutes β multi-week).
- Scaled to hundreds of TB processed through MEF batch/online inference paths.
- Unified batch + online model execution by standardizing MEF entry points and operational APIs.
- Instrumented orchestration for observability and failure isolation across multi-stage pipelines; implemented retries, checkpointing, and guarded rollouts.
- Integrated Dataverse/Dynamics application user management for first-party Insights Apps (roles, identities, access paths).
- Drove Secure Future Initiative (SFI) compliance for IAP services (governed release pipelines, safe secrets, MSI onboarding, vulnerability management).
- Established repeatable test-cluster rollout for rapid developer iteration on IAP.
- Featured work in Forbes, The Verge, CNBC, and Tech.co in enterprise AI and cloud computing.
- Actively mentor engineers and contribute to open-source communities.
- Cost Reduction: 90%+ savings ($2,500 β $270 daily infrastructure costs).
- Reliability Improvement: 70% β 95% success rate for Salesforce connector.
- Zero-Downtime Migration: 99% of production traffic migrated successfully with no escalations.
- Security Enhancement: 83% reduction in RDP access (1,200 β 200 requests/month).
- Quality Assurance: 100-prompt automated E2E tests across 6+ knowledge sources.
- Log Reduction: 30,000+ lines of noise eliminated daily.
- ML Pipeline Orchestration: Scaled Service Fabric orchestrator to process hundreds of TB through MEF batch/online inference paths.
- Developer Enablement: Created integration samples for Semantic Kernel, OpenAI, and multiple agent frameworks.
- Production Incident Prevention: Proactive migration from failing legacy system preventing major outage.
- Database Optimization: Re-architected Cosmos DB schema eliminating 2MB document limitations.
- Platform Standardization: Unified batch + online model execution reducing fragmentation across ML teams.
- Security Compliance: Drove Secure Future Initiative (SFI) compliance for IAP services.
