I am working in the Microsoft Custom Speech Service team, which is developing solutions for adapted speech-to-text models. My focus is on exposing the functionality in a Web-Portal as well as in a REST API service (ASP.NET MVC/API). Also I am handling the management of data and adaptation jobs. Multiple Microsoft Azure technologies are used in the system.

Working in the team of the Microsoft Embedded System Design Center The center will support global product development and drive development of smart, connected, service-oriented device in the European Embedded market.

I implemented a slicing floor plan, used to place RT level components in a high-level power-estimation tool for ASICs. The floor plan was optimized to maximize the utilization and to minimize the interconnect power with a simulated annealing algorithm. Maintaining and enhancing this code to production level quality, as well as optimizing the RT level netlist and the floor plan and HDL code generation became part of my job at ChipVision.
