FAQs

What kind of consulting do you do?

I specialize in three main areas: software development, technical education design, and go-to-market strategy for developer tools.

My sweet spot is working with teams that need someone who understands both the technical architecture and business strategy, especially when it comes to crypto products or developer-focused tools.

I help entrepreneurs scope, architect, and scale their engineering teams. I diagnose and design developer experiences, educational curriculums, and go-to-market strategies.

What's your newsletter about?

Nerd Splash is my creative outlet to share insights I learn through my job.

I drive lessons from entrepreneurship, software engineering, developer experiences, crypto, investing, and designing the best learning experiences.

I'm interested in the Adult Camp! Are you organizing more events?

You're in luck. We have a few more Adult Camps in motion coming up for 2025. Join here to receive updates!

We realized the principles that made Adult Camp successful – authentic connection, intellectual discourse, and strategic play – inform much of my current work in developer communities, and have taken a strategic approach at launching more similar events.

I noticed you've lived in many places. Are you available for in-person work?

I primarily work remotely but am open to traveling for specific projects, speaking engagements, or workshops that align with my expertise.

Having that said - I've lived as a digital nomad for 7+ years and worked in countries on every continent, so I hold valuable relationships around the world. There's a high chance our lives will cross paths - reach out and let's connect!

Do you still teach?

While I've moved on from teaching full-time at Le Wagon, education remains central to my work.

I now focus on creating scalable technical education programs, particularly within the blockchain space. However, my experience teaching 200+ students across six countries informs how I approach developer education and documentation in my current projects and I'm always happy to upskill smaller teams to excellence. Let's chat!

Let's create something extraordinary together.
