Shon Pazarker
Full Stack AI Engineer & Azure Architect
Building intelligent systems end-to-end: from AI agents and LLMs to cloud infrastructure. I also share insights about technology and finance.
01.About
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, specializing in the intersection of AI and full-stack engineering. I build production-grade AI systems including Copilot agents, LLM-powered applications, and intelligent automation tools using technologies like MCP (Model Context Protocol) and semantic kernels.
My expertise spans the entire stack: from React and Next.js frontends, through .NET and Node.js backends, to Azure cloud architecture with Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, Terraform). I design scalable, secure systems with proper CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and DevOps best practices.
I also work extensively with Python, creating Jupyter notebooks to analyze big data in Kusto. I build agent evaluation frameworks that measure accuracy and use LLMs to iteratively improve system prompts based on evaluation test results.
