The irony isn't lost on Mody Khan. For five years, he helped build the very cloud infrastructure that Microsoft now uses to power its artificial intelligence revolution. Today, that same AI-driven transformation has left him staring at foreclosure notices and counting down his final weeks of financial survival.
Khan's story begins like thousands of others in America's technology corridors: an immigrant's success, steady career progression, and suburban home ownership. But nine months after Microsoft showed him the door, his tale has become something darker: a middle-class professional's descent toward homelessness in a nation that promises economic mobility to those who work hard and play by the rules.
