Chong Tang

Senior Software Engineer
Microsoft


I am a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft. We build the language understanding service called LUIS AI to help inexperienced customers build conversational AI and document understanding models.

I also worked in the Online Grocery Shopping team at Walmart Labs, where I helped solve various search-related problems like query suggestion and customer intents understanding.

I got my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Virginia. I worked with Professor Kevin Sullivan and Professor Baishakhi Ray on various topics in Software Engineering, like Software Synthesis, Tradeoff Analysis, and System Performance Optimization.
