Focus on AI and Machine Learning via software optimization and feature enabling for Intel's hardware. Led Intel Visual C++ compiler team as an engineer manager and also several technical projects including AI/ML, cloud computing, HLSL shader compiler, Persistent Memory, Intel VTune performance tool on managed runtime (.NET Core) and web runtime (Chakra). Work on site at Microsoft, primary focus has been to ensure the best performance of Intel Architecture (IA) with key Microsoft developer products such as Visual Studio, .NET, and Edge Web Browser. I enjoy making contributions to a wide range of Microsoft technologies, and I take a lot of pride in making code changes that are innovative and impactful, that make Microsoft shipping products run better and faster on IA. For example, headed .NET Core and Chakra JIT dynamic code profiling effort and led publication of several VTune articles in Intel Developer Zone and MSDN blog about .NET dynamic profiling and and source code analysis in Linux. A few sample open source contributions: .NET Core, Fix SIMD Scalar Move Encoding: VEX.L should be 0: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/8329. Remove AVX/SSE transition penalties: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/8588. ChakraCore, Fix Segmentation fault on Linux Skylake server: https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/pull/3263 Enable VTune JIT Profiling in Linux: https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/pull/3044 Add Simd.js debug support for ChakraCore: https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/pull/259
