Shmueli Englard is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with 13 years of experience building cross-platform systems and high-performance services, currently working on the Microsoft Store App for Windows 11. He began on the .NET 2.0 betas and has deep C#/.NET expertise, complemented by practical experience in C++, Java, Node.js, and frontend web technologies. His background includes designing large-scale GIS and aeronautical data integration pipelines at Lufthansa Systems, where he handled complex geometrical algorithms and multi-format transports (GeoJSON, Protobuf, XML) for in-cockpit systems. An active open-source contributor, he implemented .NET bindings and memory-optimized streams for the popular imageflow project, improving native interop and performance. Shmueli combines pragmatic engineering—cross-platform tooling, SWIG bindings and unmanaged memory handling—with a knack for squeezing performance out of native libraries while maintaining maintainable .NET abstractions.
