Recent work

Google

Currently leading UX for Google Sheets. I previously led UX across products such as Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Agent Studio, Vertex AI, Colab Enterprise, Workbench, AI Training, AI for Science, Co-Scientist, Deep Research Agent, Data Science Agent and more. My focus is on the emerging design space of agentic AI — how autonomous systems make decisions, take actions, and earn trust within complex organizational workflows. Beyond execution, I've contributed to shaping the field itself, with multiple patents and publications in machine intelligence and human-AI interaction. Read our latest paper:

Self-Evolving Systems: Moving Beyond Deterministic Interfaces to Adaptive Generative Interfaces

Microsoft

At Microsoft, I helped shape the developer tools experience across Visual Studio and VS Code — products that define how millions of engineers worldwide write, debug, and ship code. Working across AI, search, source control, editor, and accessibility, I was part of early efforts to bring AI Coding into the developer workflow — work that resulted in 4 patents and predated much of the industry conversation around AI-assisted coding.
