Engineer × Builder

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, enhancing Azure Functions to make serverless development faster and easier for developers worldwide. With a focus on practical, user-centric solutions, I'm dedicated to delivering tools that empower and delight developers.

I own Azure Functions for Python and Go — driving its usability, reliability, extensibility, and performance. I'm also integrating AI with Azure Functions to simplify AI code development, bridging the gap between serverless compute and intelligent applications.

With a strong background in cloud infrastructure and data products, I drive impactful serverless solutions. My mission is simple: make serverless application development faster, easier, and more accessible for every developer.

What I've Built

Open source projects and tools — from serverless frameworks to AI assistants.

Serverless Framework

Azure Functions Python v2 Model

A new programming model for Azure Functions in Python that uses decorators for triggers and bindings — replacing the traditional function.json approach with a more Pythonic, intuitive developer experience. Supports HTTP triggers, input/output bindings, and seamless integration with Azure services like Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, and more.

# Azure Functions Python v2

import azure.functions as func
app = func.FunctionApp()

# HTTP trigger
@app.route(route="hello")
def hello(req: func.HttpRequest):
    return func.HttpResponse("Hello!")

# Blob trigger + input binding
@app.blob_trigger(arg_name="blob",
    path="uploads/{name}",
    connection="AzureStorage")
@app.blob_input(arg_name="config",
    path="settings/config.json",
    connection="AzureStorage")
def process(blob, config):
    logging.info(f"Processing {blob.name}")

# Clean. Pythonic. No function.json.
AI / Automation

AI Personal Assistant

A Python-powered AI personal assistant that leverages language models for task automation, intelligent responses, and productivity workflows. Built as an exploration of AI-native application development and conversational interfaces.

Agent Framework

Durable Agents on Azure Functions

Host AI agents inside Azure Functions using Microsoft's Agent Framework. Uses AgentFunctionApp to expose durable HTTP endpoints backed by Azure OpenAI, enabling stateful, long-running agent conversations with built-in correlation tracking, health checks, and the scalability of serverless compute.
