Seniorš
Top SchoolJose Hernandez is a principal data and applied scientist manager at Microsoft with over a decade of experience applying rigorous statistical methods and machine learning to large-scale operational problems. He specializes in long-range capacity planning for Azure Cloud and AI, translating probabilistic models and LLM research into practical tools that help product and program leaders forecast demand and optimize infrastructure. His career spans academia and public policy, where he built causal inference and Bayesian modeling pipelines for education and civic datasets, and he continues to bridge research and production at scale. A PhD-trained statistician and former UW instructor, he blends deep methodological expertise with product-minded software delivery and stakeholder-facing communication. Less obvious: Jose frequently pairs principled experimental design with pragmatic dashboards and decision frameworks, turning messy multi-source data into actionable, high-impact business insights.
