NOW → Looking for my next community / docs role. Otherwise underwater.
I'm an open-source developer-relations and documentation person. I built and ran the docs and support community for Streamlit (1M+ monthly active devs), fixed most of the things people got stuck on, and acted as the bridge between users and the team building the product.
// what i do
I joined Snowflake through its acquisition of Streamlit, owned the open-source library's docs, then product-managed features end to end — and ranked among the project's top contributors on the way. Whenever a feature needed a new tool, I was the one to go learn it. The part I love most is being the bridge between a community and the people who build for it.
// work
- Head of Documentation
Built the documentation site from scratch and owned all of its content, demos, and assets. Pitched in on growth too: content, SEO, experiments.
※ docs site + every demo asset, the stuff sales pitched on
- Technical Product Manager, Streamlit OSS
Ran the Streamlit open-source library (40k+ stars, 1M+ monthly devs, 90% of the Fortune 50). Shipped features across data-viz, ML, GenAI and geospatial; set roadmap with leadership; was the public face at talks, videos and the blog.
※ top-10 contributor to the repo
- Product Manager, Streamlit Docs
Owned the whole docs platform — getting-started, tutorials, API reference, search, telemetry — and managed a team of technical writers and content strategists while owning the platform engineering.
- Developer Advocate
Ran the community forum and was the go-to person when users were stuck. Sole technical writer + second DevRel hire; migrated all the docs onto a new Next.js + MDX platform.
※ joined the 50-person team acquired by Snowflake for $800M
- ML & Data Science Instructor
Built 40+ hands-on Guided Projects on ML, deep learning and data viz. 290k+ enrollments.
※ Coursera's first-ever project instructor

// off the keyboard
When I'm not shipping docs I'm underwater. Diving — and especially cave diving — is where I go to slow down, solve problems, and stay calm when it counts.
