- Portfolio
In my career I’ve had the pleasure of working on some of the world’s most compelling product experiences and brands.
On AI Foundry I was responsible for the end-to end UX experience and leading the development of the foundry’s UX system.
I led the end-to-end UX development through 3 consecutive releases, from public preview, to general availability, through the first major revision of the product.
We leveraged the studio system we created for Cognitive Services and evolved it to include novel AI and agentic specific UX patterns like model gardens, playgrounds, and observability tooling.
Today, Azure AI Foundry has become the agent factory platform for Microsoft.
