About
I lead a team of product managers building AI and search capabilities across Azure Cosmos DB, Azure DocumentDB, Azure Managed Redis, and Garnet at Microsoft. Our work focuses on retrieval, vector search, and the database infrastructure behind AI agents. I also co-founded the open-source DocumentDB project under the Linux Foundation and was the founding PM for Azure DocumentDB. I'm particularly interested in what it takes to make multi-agent systems reliable in production. Outside Microsoft, I produce and DJ house music as Bedford, with releases on Toolroom, Sirup, Play Records, and Wh0 Worx.
