Hi, I'm Den 👋

I am an engineer, spending inordinate amounts of time tinkering with hardware and code, exploring trails, APIs, and building tools to make life easier.
Den Delimarsky's personal avatar.

I help build software that makes other software more secure, record a podcast where I interview notable folks about their career lessons, build a utility to keep your Windows machine awake, maintain a list of resources to help product managers grow, and tinker with USB data from a popular button box. In the past I’ve reverse engineered and documented the Halo Infinite REST API and now maintain an unofficial Halo Infinite companion app and Halo-related open-source tools.

You can find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, Stack Overflow, and Hacker News.
