Dr. Michaela Greiler
I have spent more than ten years researching and improving test, build, and code review practices. At Microsoft, I worked with teams such as Office, Windows, and Visual Studio to understand and overcome their review challenges.
Since 2018, I’ve also helped companies outside Microsoft improve their code reviews. I hold a PhD in Software Engineering from Delft University of Technology and host the Software Engineering Unlocked podcast.
