About

My 3 guiding principles when launching DevRel strategies or executing community growth plans targeting devs: ✅ Listen to your developers ✅ Understand their needs ✅ Advocate for them internally My journey as a developer relations leader and community builder began over 10 years ago when I joined BeMyApp to manage new client projects — organizing some of the biggest hackathons, meetups and developer conferences. I worked alongside marketing teams at tech giants like Intel, Salesforce and HP (among others) and it was here where I discovered this new, very niche, industry…DevRel. A world of "technical marketers," "developer advocates" and "evangelists." At the time, these job titles were rare…and as I learned more about what these roles did — I saw the opportunities in DevRel to pave the way, inspired to lead programs no one has done before. From there, the rest is history. I've built developer relations functions and advocacy programs from scratch, launched developer community platforms at Visa and Marqeta, designed developer marketing strategies at Stripe and Meta overseeing content, events, social media, partnerships, moderation, user group, GTM, newsletters and surveys. To sum up, I help companies grow vibrant developer ecosystems.
