Developer Relations / DevRel Advocate

Engineering Depth. Writer Brain. Developer Empathy.

I help developers understand, trust, adopt, and build with technical products. I can write the docs, ship the demo, explain the API, debug the weird edge case, tell the product story, and make the whole thing feel less painful.

750+technical and strategic articles authored
$40M+revenue from Web3/NFT platforms and launches
30+smart contracts and dApps shipped
100K+requests per minute handled in production systems

Why this profile is unusual

Not just a communicator. Not just an engineer. The useful overlap.

I bring a rare hybrid of senior-level technical execution, serious writing output, product judgment, entrepreneurial operating experience, and the patience to make complex systems legible to real developers.

What I Bring to DevRel

Technical Credibility

Hands-on work across React, Next.js, Node, APIs, Firebase/GCP, Solidity, Ethers.js, Python, OpenAI integrations, and production Web3 systems.

Content That Ships

Hundreds of tutorials, explainers, docs, and technical articles written for developers, founders, and technical decision-makers.

Product Sense

Experience turning vague ideas into working products, onboarding paths, launch plans, documentation, demos, and credible user-facing narratives.

Developer Empathy

I know what breaks, what confuses people, what docs leave out, and how to help developers reach the “aha” moment faster.
