DevRel or Developer Relations sits at the intersection between coding, teaching, and community building.
I wrote my first Twilio blog about my journey into devrel.
Why DevRel matters?
- Reduce friction for developers
- Listen and share feedback with product teams
- Build trust through authentic relationships
- Create resources that empower others to build faster and better
What makes a great DevRel?
- You love building
- You are curious about learning new tech
- You enjoy writing & sharing what you learn with others
- You can meet developers where they are
My DevRel approach
- Lead with empathy
- Teach by building real examples
- Share openly — successes and failures
- Focus on outcomes, not just outputs
