About

I'm a Software Engineer turned Product Marketer 🙃 Involved for 10+ years with open-source dev tools, CI/CD & DevSecOps adoption. My background blends in hands-on software engineering, with direct Customer Support, as well as Technical Product Marketing. I've led Customer Service and Marketing teams in multiple startups, driving adoption of dev tools in communities of millions of developers (thereby generating B2B demand across all verticals, e.g. growing a SAST install base of <100k to 250k+ instances).
