An open source clone of PowerShell for Mac & Linux.I love PowerShell and miss it when working on Linux. I found an abandoned proof-of-concept of a PowerShell port to Mono. I curated the project for 4 years with a loose network of volunteers from around the Internet.

Build examples for new Visual Studio extensibility API.

I started at Microsoft as a college intern in 1995. Returning full-time after graduation, I worked on the Visual C++ debugger as an individual contributor. As a side project, I adopted a continuous integration system for the team, before we knew what "continuous integration" was. This had a marked impact on code quality, increasing our velocity and making the work more enjoyable for the whole team.As a development lead, I led teams with up to 10 developers. I also planned our hiring strategies and conducted interviews of developer candidates.Some highlights:- Managed the amazing C# IDE team. Many were straight out of college, yet we out-performed teams of senior developers, delivering shippable code ahead of schedule. We did this by adopting a culture of continuous improvement. Every time we hit a problem, we didn't just ask "how do we fix this problem", but also "how can we ensure we never have this problem again?". I am extremely proud of what we accomplished.- Designed & implemented parts of the Visual Studio Debugger (e.g. Watch Window and Callstack Window) and the Visual C# IDE (e.g. automated refactorings)- Introduced modern practices like Refactoring, TDD, and Continuous Integration to the team before it was cool.- Represented the Visual C# team in shiproom: how do we go from Beta to Ship? Which bugs to fix, which to punt, and how to know the difference?- Developed distributed, high-volume Continuous Integration system used to manage the complex Visual Studio build.- Wrote a tool to save pending changes in Source Depot, Microsoft's internal source control system, similar to `git stash`. This tool filled an important need, and was adopted throughout the company.
