PROFILE
Xinwei Li (shang Hai Wei Chuang Ruan Jian)
Worked extensively on microsoft/WindowsProtocolTestSuites, delivering protocol feature enhancements, test automation, and infrastructure stability across Windows environments. Developed and maintained RDP and RDS protocol support, implemented PowerShell Core remote session management, and improved test reliability through robust error handling and configuration management. Addressed compatibility for .NET 8 and Windows Server 2022+, modernized documentation, and stabilized CI/CD pipelines. Utilized C#, PowerShell, and YAML to automate testing, refine deployment scripts, and gate tests based on platform or transport conditions. The work consistently reduced test flakiness, improved security in credential handling, and enabled faster, more reliable validation of Windows protocol implementations.
