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
For teams that need a developer-ecosystem or DevRel lead before making a full-time hire. Define priorities, a hiring plan, and a working operating rhythm.
-
Launch support
For teams preparing a developer product launch. Turn positioning into a launch plan, technical content, and a distribution plan your team can execute.
-
Content engines
For teams publishing technical content without a repeatable process. Build an editorial plan and a production and distribution workflow for your podcast, newsletter, or blog.
-
Agent infrastructure advisory
For teams deciding how agents should use tools and context. Review permission boundaries, memory handling, and human review points, with concrete recommendations for the product team.
