I've spent 15 years making complex data systems click for developers - through talks, docs, demos, content, and building things that probably shouldn't exist. I run full DevRel functions at data companies, with a track record in organic growth, developer activation, and pipeline influence.
Experience
CData · Remote
MCP · AI Agents · SQL · REST APIs · SEO · Python
- Lead developer marketing for CData's managed MCP platform - the layer that connects AI agents to live enterprise data - owning developer growth end to end
- Own the developer growth engine: technical docs, content, SEO and AEO, and how the platform gets positioned to the engineers actually building on it
- Scaling the organic developer adoption already forming around Connect AI on purpose - find what is working, then do a lot more of it
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Docs to keep the developer experience tight and make CData the obvious pick for wiring AI agents up to enterprise data
- Build the demos, guides, and content that show developers how to solve their actual problem instead of pitching at them
- Stay in the code - I write, build, and ship alongside the team so the marketing holds up to the engineers it's aimed at
CloudQuery (now env0) · Remote
GCP · AWS · Azure · ClickHouse · Python · SQL
- Built the Developer Relations function from scratch - sole owner of content, community, docs, events, and video; focused on making developers genuinely successful first, business results followed

- Grew organic traffic 4x in under 3 months (~1,350 → 5,600+ visitors/week); two target keywords reached #1
- Monthly MQLs hit 239% of target; content became a measurable pipeline channel, with organic readers converting to trials and closed deals with no paid touchpoints
- Published 80+ technical posts across cloud security, IaC, and data engineering; ran a webinar series, YouTube channel, and spoke at conferences
- Embedded across Engineering, Product, and Sales - attended daily standups and merged 480+ PRs directly into production
- Replicated the content playbook at env0.com post-merger: +106% organic traffic in 3 weeks
