Microsoft Edge - Multithreaded Rendering
Modernized the Microsoft browser rendering path from single-threaded to multithreaded while preserving backward compatibility.

Scope
I worked across Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10, and legacy rendering teams, supporting browser behavior across Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1.
Engineering
The central challenge was moving the rendering work from a single-threaded model to a multithreaded one without breaking the long tail of existing web content and browser behavior.
Outcome
The browser gained a more concurrent rendering foundation while retaining 100% backward compatibility across the supported Windows generations.
