Demitrius Nelon is the product manager responsible for the Package Manager for Windows which had its beginnings in Canada with an independent software developer named Keivan Beigi, who inspired Microsoft to create their own implementation. Keivan was guest on the "Sliding Windows" podcast, episode 18. Demetrius talks about his personal background and career journey, mentioning his service in the U.S. Navy and his work at various technology companies, including Microsoft, VMware, and Amazon. Prior to the employment of Demitrius Microsoft saw the value in Keivans primal AppGet implementation and used it as a template for their own package manager, initially named AppInstallerCLI due to its positioning under the umbrella of Microsofts sideloading application named AppInstaller. During its early days the AppInstallerCLI/WinGet was targeted as a package manager for developers. Demetrius joined the team in December 2019, and the initial preview launch of WinGet took place at the Build 2020 conference. He provides insights about WinGets inspiration, security, integration, future plans.
