About
Hi, I'm Amrutha.
I'm a Data & AI Solution Engineer at Microsoft, based in San Jose, California, working at the intersection of data and AI. I build the platforms that make AI possible and the agentic systems that run on top of them.
Over 7+ years I've grown from deep learning and NLP research into production data engineering and enterprise AI. Along the way I've shipped pipelines that cut training time, models that sharpened forecasting, and AI agents that removed manual work outright, always with an eye on what actually holds up once it leaves the lab.
Today I partner with enterprise, education, and ISV customers to modernize their data estates and adopt AI responsibly. Much of that work happens in the room: architecture deep-dives, technical presentations, and live demos that turn ideas into something teams can build on. I care most about solutions that survive past the demo: secure, scalable, governed, and genuinely useful to the people who depend on them.
What I care about
Customer obsessed
I start from the outcome the customer needs and work backward, so the solution fits their reality, not just the slide.
Curiosity over comfort
I learn in the open, document what I figure out, and chase the why behind every system I touch.
Substance over hype
I care less about buzzwords and more about what actually ships, scales, and holds up in production.
Trust by design
Governance, security, and clarity are part of the build, never an afterthought bolted on later.
