Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolToni Solarin-sodara is a Senior Software Engineering Lead at Microsoft with 11 years' experience building developer tooling and cross-platform client runtimes, currently leading a team on the Mesh C++ SDK that powers real-time networking, concurrency and telemetry across HoloLens, Xbox, macOS, web (WASM) and mobile. He combines systems-level C++ expertise with hands-on work in C#, Go and DevOps, having shipped CoreRT improvements, code-instrumentation for Coverlet, and cloud-cleanup tooling (cloud-nuke) that materially reduced costs. Toni has a track record of productizing research—most recently turning AI/ML prototype work into a facial expressivity pipeline for 3D avatars—and led CoreML inference efforts for Teams on macOS. His open-source contributions show a focus on enabling testability and platform portability (method shimming, AOT runtime support, infrastructure testing), reflecting a pragmatic drive to make complex systems observable and maintainable. Based in London, he thrives at the intersection of low-level runtime engineering and developer experience, often tackling the hard plumbing that lets higher-level teams ship features faster.

Replace any .NET method (including static and non-virtual) with a delegate
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:4 releases, 206 commits, 9 PRs in 4 years 2 months
Contributions summary:Toni focused on developing a .NET library for replacing methods with delegates. The contributions involved creating core classes like `Arg`, `Shim`, and `Of` along with the initial `IsolationContext` to facilitate dependency isolation and method replacement. Furthermore, the user implemented dependency analysis and call graph generation functionality and added the foundation for rewriting code with a focus on virtual calls, covering both methods and constructors. This work is a key contribution towards the core functionality of the library, aimed at enabling robust unit testing and mocking capabilities within .NET projects.
