Devika Ramaswamy

Devika spent four years on the Xamarin team at Microsoft before the transition to .NET MAUI, where she worked on the iOS handler layer and shipped fixes that landed in the .NET 7 and .NET 8 release notes. She left Redmond in 2023 to run mobile engineering at a Series B logistics startup, porting their 600k-line Xamarin.Forms codebase to MAUI over eleven months. She writes mostly about the unglamorous parts of cross-platform work: handler internals, AOT trimming on iOS, MSBuild target customization, and why your hot reload keeps breaking. She holds the .NET MAUI MVP award (2024, 2025) and has spoken at .NET Conf and Xamarin Expert Day. Based in Bengaluru, she still pushes the occasional PR to the dotnet/maui repo on weekends.
