Getting the attention of developers is hard.  Reaching engineering leaders and executives is just as challenging.

Convincing both them to actually stop and try your product is even harder.

Maximize every opportunity to engage, from word of mouth and top-of-funnel awareness, to creating world-class content and demos that engage and result in signups, growth and revenue.

How can I help?

Don’t get dismissed by your technical audience

 

Engineering and developer ecosystems have dozens of sub-communities.  I’ve learned the hard way that if you don’t take the time to understand these nuances they’ll write you off and move on.

My years of building software, leading global launches at the biggest tech companies, and accelerating three startups to successful exits have given me the insights to approach different communities and use cases with its own unique strategy.

Cloud

AI & ML

APIs

Generative AI

Serverless

Mobile

Platforms

Having been a software architect, I understand  how cloud infrastructure, mobile, and new AI solutions work, and why your target audience is using search terms like LLM, Lambda, container, or K8.

 

 

Programming languages

I’ve written software in several different languages, and know why your full-stack developers are probably going to be using JavaScript, and why data scientists prefer Python.

JavaScript

Java

Python

Rust

Go

Swift

React

Express

Vue

Next.js

Rails

Django

 

Developer libraries and frameworks

Entire developer careers are built on frameworks for specific languages.  It takes a savvy technical marketer to authentically engage with these sub-communities.

 

Developer tools

Does your messaging show that you really understand developers – the challenges and  the variety of tools, processes, and testing necessary for modern development?  

IDEs

Test Automation

CI/CD

Code Quality

Git

Linting
