Building a vibrant developer community is hard. It doesn’t have to be.

I can help take the guess work out of it. I have helped build some of the world’s leading developer communities for Salesforce, Heroku, and Twilio, growing their size into the millions. I can help design an engagement strategy for your company that keeps an authentic developer voice, without the marketing spin.

Don’t know what, or how, Developer Relations can help you? I think of it this way, and have more information on The DevRel Collective.
