Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Philpot is a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft with over a decade of experience leading teams that design, deliver, and operationalize commercial cloud and edge software. He combines hands-on engineering roots—from early full-stack and middleware work to premier field support—with strategic leadership in shipping both software and the automation agents that ship it. Based in Atlanta, he has a strong track record enabling high-impact customers to adopt Azure, influencing product roadmaps, and driving lighthouse cloud wins. Ian balances customer-facing technical advocacy and deep delivery experience, having shifted from developer evangelism and consulting to senior engineering leadership. His GitHub bio’s self-deprecating “graveyard of bad decisions” belies a pragmatic engineer who iterates quickly and learns from production failures to build more reliable systems.
