01 / Right now

Five jobs, one thesis.

Developers do not respond to marketing, they respond to whoever taught them something. Everything below is a different way of doing that same thing, and the reason developer-first companies keep asking him how to reach their own users.

01

Go-to-market advisor

Advises developer-first companies on how to actually reach engineers: positioning, launch motion, community-led growth. Several have gone from a cold repo to a real pipeline with him in the room.

02

Developer advocate

Years of cloud-native DevRel across the globe: taking dense infrastructure and turning it into something an engineer can ship with on day one. He writes the demo before he writes the deck.

03

Community builder

Founded WeMakeDevs, now 200,000+ builders across 40 countries, with hackathons and meetups running on the ground in 11 cities. It is the distribution channel most companies spend years failing to build.

04

Educator

2 million developers learn from a curriculum he built and gave away. It is also why the recommendations land: that audience arrived to learn something, not to be sold to.

05

In the AI space

Hands-on with the frontier of AI, building, benchmarking, and pressure-testing emerging tech like autonomous agents, MCP servers, and inference infrastructure in public. If a tool ships, he’s already stress-tested it live on stream.

02 / On stage

Eighty rooms and counting.

Keynotes, workshops and the odd 8am conference slot nobody wanted. A selection; the full list is longer and mostly involves airports.

03 / Who you're working with

Not an events company.

You're not booking a booth and a banner. You're working with engineers who have keynoted the stages, built the communities, and organized the events themselves, people who bring strategy that actually works, because they have run the playbook, not read about it.

The room he built

An event conceived, sponsored and shipped from scratch. 750 engineers in one room, not a rented booth.

You cannot buy a developer's attention. You can only earn it once, and then try very hard not to waste it.
