Joined Microsoft in 2002 as a tester on the "Sparkle" project which eventually became Expression Blend. Dante moved from test to program management in 2009 and since then has worked in Windows tooling and more recently the Visual Studio editor. He also accepted a position as the accessibility driver for all developer tools in 2017 and happily spends his time trying to make sure that developers of all abilities can be effective with the Visual Studio family of tools.
With a heart that loves games and puzzles, Dante brings his passion to the editor while also championing Accessibility throughout developer tools.

This post will walk through the improvements and help developers get the most out of it.
