About Fitzgerald Jerry Steele
I bring together two worlds: the technical depth of hyperscale cloud computing and the human insight of interaction design and UX research. With over 20 years of experience spanning enterprise product management, human-computer interaction, design leadership, and AI-driven systems, I specialize in translating customer needs into strategic, scalable solutions that delight users and advance business goals.Currently, I lead the Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) platform in Azure Compute, driving its evolution to meet the demands of mission-critical workloads, AI infrastructure, and cloud-native architectures. Before my current role, I built and scaled UX, research, and voice-of-customer programs across domains—from synthetic biology and CRM automation to developer platforms and portal experiences.My foundation in human-agent interaction, publications in social computing and multi-agent systems, and history as a design researcher fuel my systems thinking and curiosity. Whether it\'s shaping product vision, mentoring cross-functional teams, or aligning technical execution with user experience, I aim to design not just features—but entire ecosystems.
