Proof, not promises.

Every project below shipped, and every number was measured in production — across 6+ years at Microsoft, independent full-stack products, Morgan Stanley, and published research.

Unblocked an 11-month migration with a platform-standard auth framework

The stakes: a security platform protecting millions of enterprise email seats, stuck on a legacy desktop client because authentication couldn't move to the cloud.

Engineered a reusable, thread-safe OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of library with distributed token caching — now the platform's standard integration framework. That foundation unblocked the migration of Defender for Office spam-rule authoring to a cloud-native web platform.

Re-platformed a 4M+/day pipeline — and cut seven figures of cost

The stakes: a threat-sample ingestion service the whole detection org depends on, running blind and expensive.

Led the re-platforming: OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, single-click staged releases, and multi-tenant sandbox abstractions that onboard new detonation environments while preserving strict per-customer isolation.

Made detection-effectiveness grading 4× faster

The stakes: security researchers grading Defender for Office 365 detections one sample at a time, while email campaigns moved faster than reviews.

Designed and shipped the grading system end to end — data model, ingestion pipeline, APIs, and UI — with clustered review, auto-assignment of the highest-impact clusters, and one-click verdict propagation across each cluster.

Turned 20-second waits into sub-3-second triage

The stakes: researchers triaging global malware detections were waiting 20+ seconds per sample preview, with false positives slipping through.

Developed diagnostic and sample-clustering tools for tracing false positives and negatives. Re-architected multi-source ingestion with per-source fault isolation, accelerated previews, and built replication that made far more samples immediately analysis-ready.

Shipped an isolated malware-investigation browser — and killed every recurring outage

The stakes: investigators handling live malware needed isolation from the corporate network, and the existing tooling failed by region, repeatedly.

Built and launched a cloud-hosted remote browser for malware investigations. Authored its threat models and data-exfiltration controls, moved workloads off the corporate network, and debugged crash dumps to eliminate the failures for good.

Energy-Efficient 360-Degree Video Rendering on FPGA via Algorithm-Architecture Co-Design

Co-author, ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA 2020). The co-designed renderer cut 360° video rendering energy by 55% versus a mobile GPU at the same frame rate, with no perceptible quality loss. View publication →
