Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Melton-Grace is a Senior Product Manager in Seattle with 11 years of engineering and product experience focused on identity, security, and developer-facing APIs. He transitioned from hands-on identity engineering and client SDK work at Microsoft—authoring OAuth2/OIDC tooling and improving developer experience—to product leadership shaping identity APIs and protocols. At Microsoft he owned end-to-end experiences for both users and application developers, emphasizing standards-based design and secure implementations. Now at ngrok he applies that blend of security-first thinking and developer ergonomics to product strategy for tunneling and developer platform use cases. His background as an Android and J2EE developer, plus early roles in open-source docs and advocacy, gives him an unusually pragmatic perspective on SDKs, standards, and developer adoption. Fluent in German and experienced as a tutor and cross-functional liaison, he brings strong communication skills to technical product leadership.
