Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDmitriy Komin is a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of recent experience and a two-decade career focused on Windows UI, XAML rendering, and web-hosted controls. At Microsoft he led the WebView2 control in WinAppSDK—owning architecture, API design, Edge team collaboration and shipping the production V1—while also driving Fluent UI materials like Acrylic and Mica and significant performance work across UI rendering. He pairs deep systems-level C++ and XAML expertise with hands-on full-stack contributions (fixing crashes, accessibility, coroutine lifetimes and tests) to high-profile open-source projects such as WinUI on GitHub. Now at Unity, he continues to blend platform-level engineering with mentorship and pragmatic project leadership. Dmitriy’s background includes an M.Eng. in CS from Cornell and a history of shipping cross-platform media and input solutions (from Windows Phone memory optimizations to Xbox One UI), revealing a rare mix of low-level performance tuning and polished UX delivery.
