Leading US DevRel initiatives at Styra, Inc. I advocate for Engineers and Developers building applications and managing infrastructure with a Zero Trust mindset. Utilizing tools like OPA (Open Policy Agent), Kubernetes, and AWSThrough my efforts advocating for these engineers, I am fostering the CNCF community for OPA, which has a wide reach of nearly 20k members across all channels. However, I work closely with about 300 WAU (Weekly Active Users), who comprise the core contributors and maintainers to help them grow personally and professionally as they contribute to the project.You will readily find me submitting DevOps and Security focused CFPs. I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge on securing and protecting your Clusters, CI/CD pipelines, Applications, and User Data. I am no stranger to travel and maintain about a 50% travel schedule for conferences and meetups.Working with devs around the world, you can readily find me on most platforms with @peteroneilljr:- Twitter- Discord- Slack- Twitch- YouTube- LinkedInLastly, I see Developer Relations as a chance to connect with Developers through empathy and compassion. It is NOT product marketing, a sales pitch, or a social media manager. I work to build meaningful connections between a company, its products, and the Engineers that use them.
