My views are my own and are not representative of any employer - full-time, contractual, or otherwise. I'm a developer relations specialist and technology evangelist with over 12 years experience coaching, leading, and helping others. I have a passion for identifying roadblocks and opening them, improving accessibility of software and learning for others. I also am motivated by encouraging others to work with their strengths, and help them to share their knowledge and experience with others in a manner that they enjoy and that benefits others. I've been most actively involved in the PostgreSQL community, although my experience ranges across the world of open source. My experience is varied and involves both technical and non-technical roles, yet most are strongly rooted in developer advocacy, relations, and the developer experience. Some roles include cloud solutions architect, senior software engineer, technical support engineer, senior frontend developer, IT administrator, non-profit board director, diversity committee chair, social media manager, technology consultant, conference organizer, content writer, instructor---even violin/viola teacher and performer.Always interactive and engaged externally in developer communities, I've been recognized as being in the top 100 most influential in the database community in 2022 by the Redgate 100. https://www.red-gate.com/hub/redgate-100/For a personal look into who I am and my involvement in the open source community, check out my interview featured in #PostgresFriends “PostgreSQL Person of the Week”. https://postgresql.life/post/sarah_conway/
