Led the incubation team at eBay Research. My team's charter was to bring research ideas to fruition as products. I built and staffed a cross-disciplinary team of engineers, researchers and designers across three geographic locations. Our focus areas were in machine learning, data mining, computer vision and human computer interaction. Projects my team worked on included -

- an AI based personal shopping assistant that learns your tastes, favorite brands, colors and preferences, becoming an indispensable shopping resource over time

- a gift recommendation engine that helps find the perfect gift based on the profile of the giftee. This project went on to power the gifting platform at eBay

- unraveling the dna of style using click data. The premise of this idea was that a user's click stream reflects her sense of style. For example, a user who loves handbags with tassels will click on handbags with that feature. We  explored if click data could be used to synthesize the "style dna" of a product category

I started out at Bing as the sole IC on an incubation project. Our goal was to build a browser plugin model that would enable Bing intelligence to be embedded in the browser. We developed an HTML based app model for Internet Explorer that became the basis for building a new Bing toolbar. My team grew to 20 as we shipped a significantly improved cloud based Bing toolbar to a 100M installed user base.

Led the engineering team at Live Labs Research. My team partnered with researchers in the lab to build prototypes and productize ideas. Focus areas in the lab were machine learning, data mining, computer vision, social media, distributed systems, and human computer interaction. Some of the projects my team worked on were - 

- a machine learning workbench. The intent was to build an excel like experience that would democratize machine learning and make it accessible to non-experts

- Thumbtack - an online scrapbook to collect, organize and share web clippings and notes 

- a distributed storage backup service that used erasure coding to store file fragments in a peer to peer mesh

-  a graph database built for web scale that could show results for page rank style queries in seconds

I joined Live Labs as an IC and worked on Thumbtack, an online scrapbook to collect, organize and share web clippings and notes. The Thumbtack UX was implemented as an Ajax application and pushed the boundaries on HTML based applications at a time when browser implementations were still quite balkanized.

Managed teams that owned DRM and the networking stack for streaming media in Windows. While in this role, I also incubated a project to build a cloud based video service for movies and tv shows. This was akin to Hulu and Netflix but well before either of these services existed. We were successful in getting funded and built large portions of the service. Unfortunately, we were shut down midway when Microsoft decided to invest in building an iPod competitor in the form of Zune.

I joined MSR to work on the BIG project. BIG was an acronym for Billions of Interconnected Gizmos. It was conceived as an effort to build a platform for the next generation of web services that operated at massive scale. At the time, Hotmail was the largest service Microsoft operated, with over 10,000 servers. The problems involved in running a service at that scale were unique and unprecedented. We worked on models and methods to provision, monitor, manage and program 1000s of computers in a data center. Our work was a pre-cursor to cloud computing platforms like Azure that were to follow 10 years later. BIG graduated from MSR and became part of Windows Server.

As the internet grew, it became apparent that the future of networking was IP based. The Network Multimedia Division grew out of Microsoft's Interactive TV group and owned internet based streaming media. I worked on adapting the ITV video server's networking stack from IP over ATM to IP over Ethernet.

In the mid-90's Microsoft embarked on an effort to build an interactive television experience that would deliver TV and movies to the home on demand, with the ability to pause, fast forward and rewind while watching. Their solution was a distributed video server that delivered video to a set top box over an ATM network.

This was my first job out of grad school and I was part of the networking team. I owned the networking stack on the video server which lived in the windows kernel and coordinated video delivery across its peer video servers.

This was my undergraduate thesis. Synthesis was a flexible neural network simulator written in C. It's core was a multilayer perceptron that could be configured with any number of layers and units per layer. It used back propagation and gradient descent as it's learning algorithm. 

As a sample application, I trained it to recognize the characters of the alphabet as a 3 x 5 grid. Computers were horrendously slow back then and even this small input grid would take almost a day to train on our then state of the art 286 PC!
