I’m Den Delimarsky. I am a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, where I help build MCP.

I started my engineering journey all the way back in the 90s, with a 386 box that was barely enough to run DOS games (I’ve upgraded since then). I’ve spent plenty of time writing code in Visual Basic 6.0 but for more than two decades now I am writing C# and Python. I’m learning C++, Rust, and Go when I need to really get out of my comfort zone.

I enjoy mixing product sense with putting hands on the keyboard and getting code out to the public – that’s the reason I steered my career towards developer tools.
