Top SchoolRajesh Sankaran is a Distinguished Engineer and Vice President at Microsoft who leads systems pathfinding and product technical readiness for memory, storage, and interconnect innovations across Azure hardware and infrastructure. With nearly three decades at Intel, he architected and brought to market generations of virtualization, persistent memory, I/O virtualization, and CXL-related technologies that underpin modern PCs and cloud data centers. He combines deep ISA and platform design expertise with practical systems engineering—driving features like VT-d, Intel Optane memory integration, Platform QoS, and data streaming accelerators from concept to ecosystem adoption. Based in Hillsboro, Oregon, Rajesh pairs strategic leadership with hands-on problem solving, demonstrated by low-level contributions such as stabilizing build and integration issues in cross-platform open-source projects like WinObjC. His work uniquely blends processor architecture, heterogeneous memory hierarchies, and I/O innovation to reduce TCO and enable confidential and high-performance cloud services.
