Intro
I'm Sankalp Arrabolu, currently the Engineering Lead for Agentic AI and Revenue Intelligence at Stripe. My career has been defined by a passion for turning advanced data and AI frameworks into tangible customer products. Before Stripe, I spent over twelve years at Microsoft, where I led engineering teams across Azure IoT, Xbox, and Surface, contributing to foundational launches like Kinect and the original Surface Pro. I specialize in scaling AI from research prototypes to production systems that handle billions of transactions. Currently, I'm focused on autonomous AI agents and how they can optimize complex business workflows like churn reduction and revenue forecasting. I value the professional friendships and mentorships I've built over the years and am always looking to connect with others in the AI and data infrastructure space to discuss state-of-the-art frameworks and real-world applications.
