Thomas Dhome-casanova is a Member of Technical Staff at Microsoft AI with nine years of experience building scalable ML systems and foundational model training pipelines. He previously led high-impact projects across Microsoft Research and Azure, including OmniParser V2 (viral open-source success) and a parallelized Windows VM RL environment for large-scale training. A Princeton ECE graduate and awarded undergraduate researcher, he developed a compiler for neural networks targeting NVIDIA DLAs and has deep experience in RL post-training and systems-level optimizations. Thomas combines research rigor with product delivery—driving Azure storage automation, HA/DR improvements that prevented global outages, and practical compression and tooling wins at OneDrive. He also co-founded a hardware startup, led cross-disciplinary student engineering initiatives, and publishes open-source tools that demonstrate a knack for shipping both research and production-grade software. Based in San Francisco, he frames complex ML problems in systems terms to make large-scale training and deployment reliably reproducible.
