I specialize in driving large‑scale SQL Server releases, regulatory compliance, and release readiness, while improving operational efficiency through automation and AI‑driven solutions.In my most recent role with the SQL Release Team, I led GB18030 (Chinese national standard) certification for the SQL Server 2025 major release, partnering closely with engineering, test, localization, compliance, and release stakeholders to ensure global market readiness. I owned release readiness and compliance tracking, proactively identifying risks and driving mitigations to meet critical ship milestones.I have a strong passion for automation and modern tooling. I have designed and implemented Power Automate workflows to streamline release operations, incident tracking, and reporting. I also worked on agentic AI solutions using Copilot Studio, enabling intelligent task automation and self‑service workflows integrated with Microsoft Teams and Outlook.Previously, as a Product Release Manager for Microsoft SQL BI, I owned the end‑to‑end release lifecycle—planning, validation, deployment, and post‑release monitoring, while defining quality gates, leading shiproom reviews, and driving cross‑team execution across global engineering organizations.I am known for my ability to bridge technical depth with program leadership, communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, and deliver high‑quality, compliant releases at scale.Areas of focus:SQL Server Releases • Technical Program Management • Release Readiness • Compliance & Certification • GB18030 • Automation • Copilot Studio • Power Automate • Azure DevOps
