Eli Cortez - Engineering Manager
working in Azure Compute @ Microsoft.
I am a Engineering Manager working at Microsoft Azure Compute. Previously, I worked at Microsoft Research, OneDrive and Xbox.
Before moving to US, I co-founded a startup called Neemu E-Commerce Technologies where I worked as a
Chief Scientist from 2009 to 2013. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Universidade
Federal do Amazonas/Brazil (2012). My PhD Thesis was awarded as the Best Computer
Science Thesis by the Brazilian Computer Society in 2013. Besides, it received an Honorable
Mention in CAPES (Ministry of Education - Brazil) Thesis Award 2013, as one of the top 3 Doctorate
Thesis in Computer Science in Brazil. My research interests include information extraction, data
mining and machine learning.
