Harrie Shin is a Principal Engineering Manager with 7 years in leadership roles at Microsoft and over a decade building native Apple productivity apps like OneNote and Office for iPad/Mac. He led the Fluent UI effort for Apple platforms, shipping polished UIKit/AppKit and React Native components and a First Run Experience used across Office suites. Harrie combines hands-on mobile engineering—evident from substantial contributions to the microsoft/fluentui-apple repo improving accessibility, typography, and component behavior—with team and product-level vision. His background in computer engineering and economics from Northwestern informs a pragmatic, user-focused approach to design and technical trade-offs. Colleagues know him for driving consistent UX across platforms while still diving into component refactors and accessibility fixes himself.
