I'm Harald Kirschner, a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft working on Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot, supporting over 40 million active developers code faster and more efficiently across virtually any programming language. Before Microsoft, I led Developer Experience at Mozilla, where I led Firefox DevTools and helped deliver Firefox Quantum, which doubled browser performance. My background in software engineering, including early work on MooTools, gives me hands-on insight into the challenges developers face daily. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking California's coastal trails and experimenting with generative art.
