Top SchoolTomas Matousek is a seasoned SDE at Microsoft with 17 years of experience building and hardening compiler and developer tooling across the .NET ecosystem. He has worked deeply on Roslyn, F#, the .NET SDK, and language runtimes like IronRuby/IronPython, blending compiler internals with practical build and test automation. His open-source contributions emphasize robustness—adding extensive unit tests, fixing race conditions, and improving CI/build tooling for high-profile repos such as dotnet/roslyn and dotnet/sdk. Tomas combines backend systems work with DevOps sensibilities, having improved signing, packaging, and RepoToolset-based build infrastructure. Based in Redmond and holding a Master's in Computer Science from Charles University in Prague, he brings a rare mix of language-runtime expertise and pragmatic engineering that keeps developer tools reliable at scale. Notably, much of his impact is behind the scenes: strengthening test frameworks and infra that enable faster, safer feature delivery across Microsoft’s .NET projects.
