What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my technical skills while fostering community engagement and promoting developer education.

I am a dedicated Developer Advocate with a strong passion for fostering community engagement and enhancing developer experiences. Currently, I work at Treblle, where I have authored technical blogs and case studies that have significantly increased engagement and showcased the impact of our API workflows. My role involves building innovative tools, such as an AI Prompt Enhancer, and organizing community sessions that have successfully doubled our Discord community in just four months.

Previously, I served as a Developer Advocate at Syncloop, where I organized a Virtual Hackathon that attracted over 4,000 interactions and 450 signups. My experience also includes leading initiatives to enhance API literacy among students and developers through the API Badge Program. My technical background is complemented by my contributions as an Open Source Developer during Google Summer of Code, where I automated the release process for Checkstyle and improved code quality through various tools and methodologies.
