Senior Developer Relations @ Riot Games.
Developer Relations for the last 9 years, previously full time engineer.
My main focus is building an ecosystem of companies around Riot Games.
The amount of business development, investing, and building a company knowledge I would need. We have a lot of developers over the last few years who made the choice to stop working the Riot API as a hobby and turn it into a business. So being able to advise, guide, and help them has been a huge learning experience.

My career path is pretty weird. It's a long story but I basically went from Computer Camp Director -> Statistical Analyst -> Technical Marketing -> Engineer -> Developer Relations
About 8 years ago I was introduced to developer relations as an industry through hackathons, conferences, etc.. I was then given the opportunity to work as an engineer on a devrel team at a startup. From there I fell in love with the work and the rest is history!
