Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDali Zhao is a Principal Software Engineer with seven years of focused experience securing cloud platforms at Microsoft, currently shaping HSM-backed cryptographic primitives for Azure Platform Security. He led the upgrade of Azure Key Vault to a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 HSM platform and delivered the private preview of Azure Cloud HSM, guiding a small team through end-to-end design and migration for security-sensitive customers. His background spans the full lifecycle of Azure Dedicated HSM and BYOK features, driving 99.99% availability targets and enabling enterprise migrations from on-prem HSMs. Technically fluent in C#, C++, PowerShell, Python and Azure, he combines deep systems engineering with practical security compliance know-how. Based in Redmond and holding an MS in Computer Science from UC Irvine, Dali pairs product-minded leadership with hands-on delivery in high-assurance cryptography services. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he built the hybrid-cloud deployment and remote management tooling for large-scale Windows Server hosts early in his career, giving him rare operational perspective on datacenter-scale security.
