I am a software marketing executive with extensive experience in early-stage startups in Silicon Valley and Japan. I focus on building developer communities. Developer Relations is a key component to reaching customers and building awareness. I work with great companies like IBM, RICOH, and Renesas to leverage open source, open communities and open APIs to build strong developer communities that benefit community members and companies alike. #DevRel doesn’t just happen, it requires planning, effort and insight. I have more than 15 years experience developing smart, high impact marketing and developer relations campaigns. I have been deeply involved in open source, networking, software development, enterprise software and high-performance computing (HPC). I act as the face of companies and communities and have a wide range of specialties around communications: marketing strategy, messaging and positioning development, competitive analysis, content development (writing and graphics), developer-focused tech PR, US market entry for non-US companies, Japanese language fluency. I am currently learning JavaScript and also building my first Raspberry Pi project, a media center for my car.
Listed skills include Start Ups, Product Marketing, Strategy, Business Development, and 45 others.
