Meet the Team: Amit Fulay

What is your education and work background?
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from University of Pune, India and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Florida State University. I joined Microsoft in summer of 2001, straight out of school.

How did you come to be a part of the AD RMS team? How long have you worked with the team?
I have worked on the RMS team since its v1 days in 2003. I’ve worked on several releases of the product including SP1, SP2, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 &  2008. I moved to adCenter for 2 years before coming back to the team last October. The opportunity and the great people on this team were too big a draw to ignore.

What is your role?
I am a Lead Program Manager responsible for Services and Integration with various workloads.

If you worked on previous versions of AD RMS, what did you work on?
I have worked on almost every part of the product including RMS client, server, services and deployment.

What is your favorite aspect of the technology?
What I love the most about coming here every day is that I get to build a product that solves people’s real problems. Being on this team is like working in a startup within Microsoft and when we get things right in terms of software, we can impact millions of customers. I don’t know of many other places that offer such an opportunity.

What’s your favorite breakfast cereal? ;)
Kellogg’s Vanilla-Almond, I can eat it every morning….

Any last words?
None, you will hear from me on this blog again.
