Hi, I'm Andy! I'm not sure how much I'm actuallly going to write here, but I want to make sure I have a space for it. I'm calling this my 'bench' because you can expect one of the three uses of bench for pretty much everything here:

1. Putting something to the bench to understand it better or analyze performance.
2. Building things on a workbench.
3. Setting it aside on the bench for later (sometimes much later).

A bit about me

• 👨🏻‍💻

  I'm a Product Manager at Microsoft working on Edge WebView2. While I primarily help developers make great hybrid native/web apps, I've been learning a lot about web performance despite being a web developer for most of my life.

• 🪲

  I used to work on WinDbg and Time Travel Debugging. I've got a bit of a soft spot for infosec and low-level development (but could never do it myself). Debugging is a huge interest of mine.

• 🛠️

  I like making stuff. The label "maker" fits, but "serial hobbyist" is a bit more apt. 3d printing, Arduino/hobby electronics, woodworking, etc.

• 🎄

  One of those hobbies is holiday lighting! Every year we setup thousands of LEDs on our house for Halloween and Christmas and run musical light shows.

• 🤖

  I'm slowly making progress on building a full-scale Wall-E. It's a big undertaking, so updates are sporadic.

• 🏒

  I'm a huge hockey fan. Seattle Kraken are my main team since their inception, still supporting the San Jose Sharks from before that.

• 🐶

  We have two rescue dogs - A border collie mix named Kona and pit mix named Tulip.
