About

Bridging engineering and GTM strategies to drive developer growth. As the VP of DevRel & Growth at Permit.io, I lead a hybrid function that encompasses product, content, community, and PLG strategy, growing signups by 6x, GitHub stars by 5x, and organic traffic by 450%, all while reducing CAC by 90%. I build technical trust through code: documentation, SDKs, demos, open-source tools, and public speaking. Promoting adoption through scalable systems, content pipelines, SEO, events, and launches. With over a decade of experience in full-stack engineering (Go, Python, JS) at companies like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and various startups, I translate deep technical knowledge into business impact. I’ve fostered successful partnerships with AWS, MongoDB, and others, and built thriving communities of thousands of engaged developers. Whether it's product launches, developer narratives, or technical content that converts, I’m fully committed to where code meets growth.
