Contentful is the world’s leading content infrastructure technology that enables digital teams to power websites, apps, and other online/offline products and experiences. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content, powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that enables developers and content creators to ship their products faster. I'm helping both enterprise customers and partners learn how to best leverage Contentful's technology to solve their business challenges.
