Software Engineer II, Microsoft Store client team

I'm a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, working on the new Microsoft Store app for Windows 11 and Windows 10, and the maintainer of the .NET Community Toolkit, a suite of open source libraries to help all .NET developers. I started writing Windows and .NET apps in 2013 with Silverlight and later WinRT, and then moved to UWP. I'm passionate about open source software and a member of the .NET Foundation since 2020, and I regularly contribute to several projects on GitHub (such as ComputeSharp, ImageSharp, or the .NET runtime). I was awarded with the Microsoft MVP title in February 2021, shortly before joining Microsoft later that year.
