🤩
RockstarHugo Aponte is a technical and people-focused leader with 25+ years of experience applying AI to production systems, currently leading the engineering team for Azure ML Production Experiences at Microsoft to make inference and in-production MLOps frictionless across portal, SDK, and CLI. He intentionally alternates between individual contributor roles and management to stay hands‑on with the stack while scaling impact through teams. Hugo co-founded Ziipa and authored its patent‑pending recommendation model, and earlier co‑authored an industrial-control patent at PDVSA, reflecting a rare blend of research and applied AI.
