Mike Phipps
Lead AI Engineer, Gates Foundation
Speaking in 1 session at AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 — unofficial import demo
Bio
Mike is the lead AI engineer in business operations at the Gates Foundation, where he built and deployed SIP (Strategic Intelligence Platform), the foundation's enterprise-wide knowledge graph. Built on Neo4j and served to Claude through MCP, SIP unifies siloed structured records and unstructured documents into one semantic layer that agents can query directly. Before AI engineering, he earned his PhD at CERN in experimental high-energy nuclear physics, working with some of the largest datasets in science. His work now centers on AI-first data modeling, driven by the conviction that for most enterprise teams the durable moat comes from properly modeling and expressing their data assets and domain knowledge — not the commoditizing layers above.
