// what i do

• developer relations
• technical writing & docs
• developer education
• technical product management
• community support
• python & js/ts

The part I love most is the space between a community and the people building for it: running the forum, reading what users trip on, and turning it into fixes, features, and better docs. I've done that at every altitude: answering threads myself, leading a team of writers and content strategists, and setting the roadmap for the library. When something needs a tool I haven't touched, I go learn it, and I'll write the guide, ship the fix, or record the video, whatever gets a developer unstuck.
