Experience

  1. Software Engineer Ii

    Microsoft

    Aug 2024 — Present · Redmond, WA, US

    Engineered a distributed job-orchestration platform on top of UFO (Microsoft Research agentic OS framework), extending its controller / device-under-test (DUT) worker architecture with a lightweight HTTP MCP server framework for remote tool execution on worker machines and a dedicated hardware MCP server for robotic rig control. The platform auto-configures environments, deploys via Azure DevOps pipelines, and executes autonomously using LLM agents that navigate and act on remote machines in real time — serving 3 engineering teams across 2 Surface programs.• Contributed upstream to UFO, Microsoft Research\'s open-source agentic OS project: designed and shipped the HTTP MCP server transport layer to the public release, delivered bug fixes and new features working directly with the MS Research team, and pioneered Surface’s first production lab deployment with hardware MCP server rigs, automated environment deployment, and structured error handling. Ongoing collaboration — pushing fixes upstream and adapting new UFO releases for lab use.
