Senior🎓
Top SchoolTanya Lai is a Software Engineer 2 at Microsoft with nine years of experience building scalable device management, ML-driven features, and localization pipelines for Intune, handling data from millions of devices with enterprise-grade availability. She’s driven cross-team technical programs—designing certificate recovery for 25K+ devices, architecting multilingual inventory pipelines across 18 languages, and launching Intune’s first ML-based recommendation system that drove 98% adoption alignment. Equally comfortable in backend, data, and UX ownership, she combines rigorous production engineering with a creator’s instinct, iterating on art, experimental baking, and MVPs outside of work. A University of Michigan CS alumna with a music minor, Tanya brings a multicultural perspective from ties to Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Michigan and actively mentors engineers while surfacing undocumented system patterns to cut costs and improve reliability.
