Profile
I've spent 8 years explaining developer tools to the people who use them, on stage, in docs, and on camera. My docs and demo work drives about 30,000 SDK installs a year, and my channel holds 120 tutorials with a 41% average watch-through. I still rewrite my talk intros the night before, every time.
