Ecosystem Partner Marketing, developer programs, and community strategy
I lead ecosystem and partner marketing programs that help developer platforms scale by connecting partners, builders, and advocates through clear systems, data-driven GTM strategy, and durable community infrastructure.
My work spans developer relations, technical content, developer education, lifecycle and CRM programs, and global community operations. I specialize in turning fragmented initiatives into repeatable, measurable frameworks that support sustainable ecosystem growth.
Earlier in my career, I worked in game development and audio engineering, which still shapes how I think about storytelling, tooling, and developer-first experiences.
