Developer Relations Engineer

I help developers ship faster.

I ship videos, docs, and reference apps that take developers from idea to production. Platforms I've built ship to millions. I hunt friction, remove it, and do it all in public.

Writing at Full Stack Drip. Videos on YouTube.

For developer-facing teams

Where I plug in

Adoption comes from removing friction, not adding noise.

  1. Reference apps & demos

    Open-source apps built to be cloned, run, and learned from. Real architecture, real docs, no tutorial hell.
  2. Code-first content

    Videos, essays, and walkthroughs that take developers from idea to working prototype. Built for devs, not vanity metrics.
  3. Friction hunting

    I'm the first customer for your APIs and SDKs. I find the sharp edges, document them, and turn every papercut into feedback your product team can act on.
  4. Teaching & community

    Office hours, workshops, and showing up where developers already are. Trust comes from consistency and technical depth.

Engagements

Work with me

Five ways to put a DevRel engineer on your roadmap, through Release Mode LLC.

Embedded DevRel / DX engineering

Execute inside your existing developer relations function. QuickStarts, sample apps, docs, and content that ship on a cadence. Covering a gap for a quarter counts.

short-term or ongoing

Fractional DevRel lead

Own the whole developer experience surface: strategy, content engine, community, and the metrics that prove it's working.

ongoing · fractional

Fixed-scope sprints

A reference implementation, DX audit, launch video series, or docs overhaul — scoped up front, shipped on a date.

fixed scope · per deliverable

Advisory

Architecture calls, DevRel program design, and a second brain for your platform team.

retainer

Content partnerships · Full Stack Drip

Sponsored videos, launch coverage, and series across YouTube and fullstackdrip.com. Always disclosed, always dev-first — if it wouldn't help a developer ship, I won't make it.

per campaign

Scope first, always

Every engagement starts with a scoping call: what needs owning, what shipping looks like, and whether I'm the right person to do it. If I'm not, I'll tell you.

Shipped the code. Made the video. Judges agreed.

Anthropic acquired Bun. I wrote what I thought it meant for AI and for TypeScript development. Conversation ensued. Even some trolls! That's the goal.Er … the conversation, not the trolling.
