Hi there! I'm the corporate vice president for the Visual Studio team in the Developer Division at Microsoft, including Visual Studio Pro, Premium, and Ultimate. I've been in the Developer Division for a long time (back to ODBC). I was lucky to be one of a small handful of folks who started working on what would become the CLR back in '97. I worked primarily on the metadata, file formats, and compiler integration. I was the first dev lead for those features as well as the debugger/profiler. I was the Development Manager for V1.1 and the first part of V2.0, and ultimately became the PUM of the team before taking the GM role first in .NET and then for Visual Studio.
I love writing code! And it is an amazing opportunity to work on a team where dogfooding my product means writing code. Please enjoy Visual Studio and the .NET Framework and make sure to send us your feedback.
