Windows Installer XML is a toolset for creating and building deployment packages and bundles. It is one of the first open source projects at Microsoft and is used throughout Microsoft to ship major products like Office, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and the .NET Framework. During this time period I was a core developer in a small team. We implemented many of the requirements from many divisions in ways that would work for the global community. Notable features I worked on were the product dependency and reference counting feature, the patch build system, validation rules, and migrating from Source Depot (in-house version control system) to Mercurial and finally into Git with full historical context.

Adds samples from the Azure SDKs as context to better generate idiomatic samples following recommended practices.

Cryptography client for Azure SDK for Go. I lead the development of cryptography clients for other Azure SDK languages that help customers use Key Vault cryptography operations securely and that cache public keys for faster public key operations. We decided not to write one for Go - focused on generation-only - so this a side project.
