I have years of experience as a technical marketer, developer evangelist, and content creator, presenting complicated ideas in a clear and compelling way. But first and foremost, I tell stories. Stories are the best (and sometimes only) way to connect with your customers. If I can't tell a story that convinces someone that a product will make their lives better, they're not going to buy the product.I have created many customer- and developer-oriented videos accompanied by related articles, code repos, and container images. In addition to video-based evangelism, I have spoken hundreds of times at conferences, technology briefings, customer sites, and universities around the world. The dozens and dozens of articles that I have written have generated millions of page views over the years.I am the author of O'Reilly's book on XSLT, a copy of which makes the perfect gift for all occasions. My writing has been translated into eight languages. I am also a developer with many years of experience. With a Masters in Computer Science and a Bachelors in English, I have a unique ability to take in-depth, hardcore technical material and then explain it compellingly to audiences, both online and in person.At Gradle I worked closely with Engineering to create release notes and sales enablement materials, making sure Marketing had a complete release plan ready when the product shipped. I also created customer-facing content for the company's website and blog.My work at Redis was focused on technical content that explained the reasons Redis Enterprise can actually save money for enthusiasts of open-source Redis. That content was primarily videos, but I also created blog posts, solution pages, customer surveys, white papers and webinars.At CloudBees I was responsible for establishing a corporate-wide demo environment and its underlying infrastructure. I also created many videos, webinars, blogs, e-books, and other technical content.At Red Hat I published long-form content that covered technical topics in detail. I created Coderland, a fictional theme park used to tell stories about developers using technology to solve problems. I also produced videos for Red Hat products and technologies such as Eclipse Che and podman.Finally, at IBM I created the developerWorks Mailbag, a series of weekly videos that answered questions on the minds of developers. I also worked with professors at universities around the world.
