Consulting
Developer marketing and ecosystem consulting for AI infra and devtools companies.
I help AI infrastructure and developer-tools companies build the developer relations, ecosystem, and technical marketing functions that turn technical credibility into adoption.
I build open-source trust infrastructure for agents: permissions, provenance, skills, memory hygiene, and proportionate review.

Ways to work together
-
Fractional leadership
Embedded developer-ecosystem or DevRel leadership for a defined stretch: strategy, hiring, and the operating rhythm, without a full-time hire.
-
Launch support
Positioning and execution for a product launch, a new dev-tool surface, or a first developer-marketing hire finding their footing.
-
Content engines
Building the repeatable system behind technical content: a podcast, a newsletter, a blog, or a talk-track program that compounds instead of one-off pieces.
-
Agent infrastructure advisory
Design and review for agent products: tool surfaces, permission models, memory systems, and the review gates that make them trustworthy, from someone who ships this stack in the open.
