Shreyas Narayanan Kutty

community manager, Public Speaker, and Open source enthusiast in Dubai

Hey there๐Ÿ‘‹, Iโ€™m Shreyas. ๐Ÿค“

I traded in my Computer Science๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ป degree for the real currency๐Ÿ’ฐ: building thriving online communities. Turns out, debugging code wasn't as thrilling to me as building online friendships. Now I'm a community builder, wrangling folks on the Internet like a digital sheepdog ๐Ÿ•. Currently based in Dubai๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช but mostly all over the place.

My journey began in the open source world as the Open Source Initiative's first-ever intern. I've volunteered building communities with the Mozilla Foundation for almost 11 years. I even led a community for community managers in India.

Education, building developer communities, technology and travel photography excites me. I'm also passionate about championing the Open Web like it's my knightly duty(Although, typing is more my forte than swordplay)โš”

I'm a mentor for Mozilla Open Leaders where I help empower future tech heroes with the secrets of open-source collaboration.

Named in the list of "50 People Who Are Making the Internet a Better Place" in 2016(it's a prestigious award, I swear!).

Worked on the Internet Health Report with a team of amazing volunteers from around the world. (Spoiler alert: The report is fine, but the internet needs more cat videos)๐Ÿˆ

Talk to me if๐ŸŽค

  • You've got a project that'll change the world (or at least make really good coffee). โ˜•๏ธ
  • You need to chat about education, remote work, web3, or anything else that starts with "web" (it's my jam).
  • You're a fellow community builder๐Ÿ‘ฅ, open-source enthusiast, or just really into conspiracy theories๐Ÿ‘ฝ (no judgment... maybe).
  • You need a beer buddy or someone to geek out about photography, Legos and sneakers๐Ÿ‘Ÿ with.
