Re: [EXTERNAL] Introduction

Hi all,

Let me also quickly introduce myself on this list.
I'm a product manager at Microsoft, and work on the Edge browser. My time is typically spent writing technical docs, blog posts, making demos, recording videos, or giving talks about PWAs, DevTools, and other wonderful things available on the web platform and in Edge.
I have a long experience working on developer tooling too, and have been part of both the Edge DevTools and Firefox DevTools teams.

My love for the web platform, and motivation to help it succeed as a platform of choice for most developers out there brought me to the WebDX group, and I hope to be as useful as I can on the group.

I'm based in France, so same timezone as Daniel, Dom, Francois, and perhaps others, which puts me in a comfortable position to attend the group's meetings 😂

Looking forward to more discussions with you all.

Patrick

Hi folks,

I'm Daniel D. Beck (@ddbeck most places). In today's call it was suggested to do written intros in addition to the round we did in the call, so here I am. 👋

I'm a technical writer and independent consultant with a focus on making tools, processes, and content for reaching developer audiences. The dumb joke I tell is that I write documentation and I program, so I know lots of ways to use a semicolon.

I got involved in the WebDX group thanks to Kadir Topal and Philip Jägenstedt at Google, who have contracted me to contribute to developing the web platform feature grouping methodology and tools. I'm really excited to dig into the web platform again.

In the not-too-distant past, I worked with Mozilla and MDN, first as a contractor and later capped by a stint as MDN technical content lead. A big portion of my time there was working on mdn/browser-compat-data and other projects to help structure useful content for web developers.

(I've also had the pleasure of past client work on docs a little less immediately relevant here, such as test analytics at Buildkite, social gaming infra at Heroic Labs, and dev tools at Arm.)

Outside of work, I live in Amsterdam (UTC+1) with my wife, a cat, and far too many books. Since I just moved to the Netherlands this summer, a lot of my free time is spent trying to produce the Dutch "hard G" and to avoid getting hit by bicycles.

I'm looking forward to working with all of you!

Daniel
