As we approach the singularity,
what remains human?

I’m Juan, a software engineer who just left Microsoft AI to build the things I wish existed, answer life's big questions, and write down what I learn on the way in.

Fresh out of Microsoft AI, building in the open.

For the last stretch I was a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft AI, sprinting to keep pace with the frontier. It was a blast, and I spent every day next to people who taught me something new.

Now I’m on my own, shipping the tools I keep wishing someone else had built and sharing what I learn as I go. Mostly on the blog, occasionally on X.

Things I helped ship at Microsoft AI

  • 01The first native chat surface on Windows
  • 02Vision
  • 03Code Execution
  • 04Chromium sandboxes
  • 05Memory, Deep Research & more

What I think about

  • AI & agents
  • Knowledge & data representation
  • Digital identity
  • Specialty coffee
  • Tennis
  • Skiing
