3 yr 6 mo
PixieBrix
Developer Advocacy + Solutions Engineering

Wear two hats at a low-code browser-automation startup. On the solutions side: scope, architect, and build working prototype solutions for enterprise clients, including a $1.3MM deal with one of the world's largest BPOs (largest contract supported to date), engineering the underlying logic so demos translate straight into production, not demo magic.

On the DevRel side: run a community of 1,000+ developers, lead 10+ workshops and livestreams a year, own the Voice of the Developer program (which drove the Pipedream integration), and maintain ~350 pages of docs and tutorials. Ship product features in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python, plus internal AI agents: a support copilot that cut escalations ~50% and time-to-first-response from days to hours, and a Mixpanel insights agent that saves ~1 hr/day.
