PROFILE
Andrew Wang
Worked extensively on the dotnet/vscode-csharp repository, delivering a series of targeted improvements to the C# debugging experience in Visual Studio Code. Focus areas included upgrading debugger dependencies, enhancing platform compatibility, and refining onboarding flows for .NET developers. Leveraged TypeScript, C#, and JavaScript to implement features such as dynamic debug configurations, guided setup prompts, and a new COM Wrapper for managed-to-native marshalling. Addressed cross-platform reliability by updating debugger URLs and integrity hashes, and maintained stability through careful version rollbacks when necessary. Demonstrated strong skills in debugging, extension development, and configuration management, consistently prioritizing maintainability and user experience across releases.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Focused on stabilizing the .NET Core debugging experience in dotnet/vscode-csharp by updating the debugger URLs and integrity hashes to version 2.131.0 across Windows, macOS, and Linux. This release ensures the debugger functions correctly across all supported environments and reduces user-facing issues. The change was implemented via commit 419c4d6947dc38cc3d78d74729328ea2ebbcf4d0 (Update debugger for v2.131.0 (#9043)) and validated through internal testing and cross-platform checks.
