Hi, I’m Aleš.
say “Alesh”
I’m a software engineer at Microsoft on the MSBuild team. I work on the performance of build tooling used by millions of .NET developers.
About me
I’m a software engineer based in Prague. At Microsoft I work on MSBuild, making builds faster for .NET developers. Before that I studied computer science at Charles University, where I also did research on voting theory.
