I am an Principal Product Engineer with a deep passion for solving tough problems and technical puzzles.
A few things that I do, from which you might've heard my name before:
- 🔒 Build libraries that help protect web, mobile, and desktop applications as well as APIs (see my work on my Microsoft-linked GitHub account -
@localden). - 🎙️ Record a podcast where I interview notable folks about their career journeys and hard lessons learned along the way.
- ☕️ Build a massively-adopted open source utility to keep your Windows machine awake.
- 📕 Maintain a list of resources to help product managers grow.
- 🌳 Maintain a directory of personal blogs and websites for folks to discover corners of the internet they haven't seen before.
- 💻 Tinker with USB data from a popular button box.
- 🪐 Maintain projects around Halo that give folks access to their match data for deeper analysis.
In the past I've reverse engineered and documented the Halo Infinite REST API (you can check out OpenSpartan and Grunt), Zune REST API, and the Xbox media API, among others.
You can find me on Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, Stack Overflow, and Hacker News.
