Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnkit Srivastava is a Principal Data Science Manager at Microsoft with 13+ years of experience leading AI, ML and NLP initiatives that bridge research and product. He has shipped generative AI features for Copilot in Security and Intune, deployed multiple ML models to production (clustering-based Settings Insight, pattern-mining Device Cohorts, and incident-escalation prediction), and set up rigorous A/B testing and evaluation frameworks for agentic AI. His background spans core telemetry and propensity modeling in Microsoft 365, differential privacy research applied to commercial diagnostics, and early work on scalable mutual information ranking and time-series risk signals. Comfortable moving from prototyping to product, he blends academic training (MS in Computer Engineering, graduate work at Stanford and Harvard) with a track record of shipping defensive, privacy-aware models that measurably boost IT admin productivity. Based in Kirkland, he pairs deep technical breadth with practical systems thinking—often surfacing non-obvious signals (e.g., device-network associations and organizational importance scores) to drive business impact.
