About

Hi — I'm Michael.

Passionate about AI. Know exactly where it breaks.

Twenty-five years in tech. Engineering first, then cloud and data, and since 2017 mostly AI — fourteen of those years at Microsoft, leading the AI practice across Asia-Pacific. Now I run Cloud & AI for APAC at EPAM, and still prototype most weeks with Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Titles change; the habit doesn't.

I write AI Field Notes because the signal-to-noise on AI coverage is dire and I read across the industry anyway. The site is what's left over after that filter.

What I spend time on

Agentic systems that actually hold up in production.
Evaluation — because demos lie.
Responsible AI and regulated delivery: the boring, necessary half.
Writing things I'd want to read.

Want to talk?

LinkedIn is the easiest way — drop a note and mention what you'd like to discuss. The résumé version lives there too.
