Summary
Amir Mukeri is a Principal Data Scientist with nine years of experience building ML-driven security and cloud products, currently contributing to Microsoft’s Security Engineering team. He has led data science functions from the ground up—most recently at Qualys—delivering EDR/XDR, vulnerability risk management, and network analytics using deep learning, transformers and probabilistic methods. His background spans the full product lifecycle across startups and large enterprises, with earlier leadership in cloud platform engineering, QA automation and IoT at companies like Druva, Citrix and VMware. Amir combines rigorous research (multiple publications on Bayesian methods, intrusion detection and adversarial ML) with practical production engineering, and he focuses on trustworthy ML topics such as uncertainty quantification, NAS and probabilistic programming. Based in Pune, he pairs academic training (MEng, UCLA technical management coursework) with a hands-on history of shipping fault-tolerant, distributed systems at scale—an uncommon blend that helps bridge research insights into secure, deployable ML solutions.
