Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTommy Klein is a Systems Architect and seasoned C++/C# engineer with nearly a decade of experience modernizing native Windows UI across WinUI, File Explorer, Copilot, and Visual Studio. He has led cross-team integrations—most notably enabling WinUI 3 to run alongside WinUI 2 and integrating it into explorer.exe—while architecting tooling like Hot Reload and a .NET Core markup compiler to dramatically speed developer inner loops. Tommy combines deep low-level Windows expertise with front-end XAML work (contributing to the WinUI Gallery) and a track record of shipping high-quality staged rollouts and monitoring plans at scale. He mentors and ramps new engineers quickly, and has a knack for making complex, multi-team projects feel manageable. After a one-year sabbatical he’s seeking his next challenge where he can act as a force multiplier across product, platform, and developer tooling. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he holds a CS degree from Carnegie Mellon and brings both product-focused pragmatism and framework-level craftsmanship.
