About Maxwell Myers

I’ve always believed that education is about clarity. Growing up, nothing frustrated me more than unclear instructions; So I made it my mission to build things that feel simple, straightforward, and easy to use, no matter how complex they are behind the scenes.Today, I’m a Software Engineer on Microsoft Edge’s Web Platform team, where I focus on browser infrastructure, telemetry, and developer-facing APIs that ship seamlessly. One highlight has been shipping the WebView2 Find on Page API to Stable, making it easier for developers to deliver intuitive search experiences.Outside of Microsoft, I co-founded LinkedInorLeftOut (LILO), where we help undergrad students and new grads land software engineering roles through mock interviews, resume rewrites, and career prep. Since launching, we’ve supported students in earning interviews at 100+ companies, including every FAANG. I also built a content-to-funnel system that converts interest into paid programs, without adding friction.The areas I focus on are:C++ and Chromium internalsAPI quality, documentation, and quickstartsDeveloper educationSmall AI builder workflows that turn ideas into working proofs fastWhat excites me most is bridging the gap between complex technology and human understanding. Whether that’s an API, a proof of concept, or a workshop, my goal is to make things approachable, usable, and impactful for people from all backgrounds.If you’d like to connect on DevRel partnerships, API documentation projects, campus sessions, or practical workshops email c•••••@linkedinorleftout.com
