Scott Thurlow is a Principal Product Manager and doctoral researcher focused on scaling human oversight of AI-generated code, bringing 25+ years of experience shipping large-scale software across Microsoft, Expedia, and MSN. He currently leads the M365 Copilot agentic platform, where he has re-architected platform capabilities, shipped preview APIs for third-party integrations, and operationalized Copilot-driven generation of technical specifications. His Purdue D.Tech research applies lean production and statistical quality control to build practitioner frameworks that direct human attention to the highest-risk AI-generated code while automating routine review. Scott holds 10 patents spanning messaging, search, rules systems, telemetry, and resilience, and has early ML production experience adapting research models into production at MSN in 2014–2015. Known for blending deep operational rigor with product strategy, he’s closing the gap between traditional peer review and the volume of AI-assisted code now entering production. Based in Bellevue, he is open to advising engineering leaders, founders, and researchers on AI-assisted development, governance, and scalable oversight.
