I'm a Principal Engineering Manager at Microsoft, where I lead the AIOps Health Platforms team and chair architecture for the AIOps organization. My team builds the Health Engine at the core of Brain, Azure's AI-powered cloud reliability intelligence system — the platform that continuously models the health of Azure itself so problems are caught before customers feel them.

Most of my career has been spent in the part of the cloud you only think about when it breaks: reliability, observability, and AI operations at hyperscale. Along the way I took a customer-facing cloud service-health offering to public preview at Microsoft Build 2025, and I'm a named inventor on a granted U.S. patent (No. 12,587,460) in cloud-service health monitoring.

FarseerTech is my personal site — field notes on platform engineering, reliability, and AI operations, written from the operator's side of the pager. The running series is Paid in Production; start with № 01. Everything here is my own opinion, not Microsoft's.
