As Lead Growth Engineer at Botpress, I lead a team of two software engineers. We own the developer experience, solving user problems through code, documentation, and video. You can catch me twice a week on our daily Discord livestream. We work closely with Product to fix bugs, add features, and ensure developers are supported and satisfied through our developer relations (DevRel) efforts. Our projects focus on user acquisition, customer value, and optimizing product and user analytics, as well as improving go-to-market (GTM) efficiency. Lastly, as a subject matter expert for marketing, I provide insights into product, competition, and market trends.
