PROFILE
Benjamin Steenhoek
Worked on the microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat repository to deliver telemetry instrumentation and adaptive system enhancements over a two-month period. Developed TypeScript-based features to monitor user interactions, including logging aggressiveness levels and user happiness scores, which enabled data-driven improvements to user experience and system responsiveness. Enhanced the Adaptive Aggressiveness System by implementing a new prompting strategy, introducing strict validation for score relationships, and expanding telemetry to detect configuration errors. Refactored core logic into reusable utilities and strengthened test coverage for configuration parsing. Focused on maintainability, observability, and reliability, leveraging full stack development and software engineering best practices throughout the project.
