Gabriel Gilabert is a Principal Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and maintaining enterprise-grade conversational AI at Microsoft, currently contributing to the Bot Framework SDK team from New York. He spans backend and full‑stack work across C#, .NET Core, and JavaScript, focusing on compatibility, testability, and extensibility of SDK components used by developers worldwide. Gabriel’s contributions include making middleware easier to customize, modernizing project dependencies and templates, and hardening tests for storage, prompts, and authentication—practical improvements that reduce friction for bot authors. Equally comfortable touching .csproj and Program.cs files as refactoring DialogTestClient or multi-language T4 templates, he combines pragmatic engineering with an eye for developer experience.
