Bernadette Thalhammer is a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft in Dublin with seven years of professional engineering experience and a background stretching back to game engineering roles. She leads teams on Microsoft Mesh and client foundations, blending hands-on development in XR tooling with people management and platform-level delivery. Her early career in game development and C++ engine work informs a pragmatic approach to complex systems like MRTK and HoloLens integrations. An active contributor to the Mixed Reality Toolkit documentation on GitHub, she focuses on improving developer experience through clearer docs and navigation—work that quietly amplifies adoption of a high-profile open-source XR project. Bernadette pairs an MSc in Game Engineering and Simulation with practical product delivery, making her equally comfortable sketching architecture or fixing UI/UX edge cases in Unity. Colleagues describe her as a technical leader who turns cross-disciplinary challenges into maintainable, well-documented solutions.
