Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvelyn Wu is a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of focused experience building developer-facing Windows platform tools and UI frameworks at Microsoft. She is a subject-matter expert on XAML parsing and has led efforts to modernize WinUI by migrating builds to MSBuild, decoupling the framework from the OS, and standing up CI pipelines to improve developer productivity and performance. Her full‑stack contributions span C# and C++—including work on the widely used Windows App SDK templates and Single-project MSIX packaging support with ARM64 and Visual Studio tooling updates. Evelyn combines deep systems-level knowledge with a pragmatic drive to remove adoption blockers for external partners and customers. Based in Bellevue and trained in EECS at UC Berkeley, she pairs legacy-platform expertise with modern build and deployment practices. An engineer with a dry sense of humor (per her GitHub bio), she blends technical rigor with an eye for developer ergonomics.
