Being part of the community and building real relationships have been among the best parts of being a Developer Advocate. I’ve been a frontend developer since the mid-90s, with a focus on multiple areas across the frontend.
I’m currently a Senior Developer Advocate at TuxCare, where I lead the DevRel mission. I focus on developer engagement and content strategy. I also deliver technical talks at industry conferences, covering cybersecurity, JavaScript, and cloud topics. On top of that, I launched and lead the TuxCare livestream, broadcasting to YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. Through YouTube videos, Shorts, and social content, I’ve helped expand TuxCare’s reach and strengthen its community presence.
Beyond content, I work closely with marketing, documentation, and engineering teams to influence roadmap decisions and improve how developers consume docs. I also track key performance metrics to ensure we’re hitting—and exceeding—our goals (consistently pushing 100%+). I regularly host webinars on transitive dependencies and cybersecurity, helping developers better understand risks and how to remediate them.
With my background as a developer, I genuinely relate to and empathize with the community, especially when it comes to real-world problems, setbacks, and bottlenecks. I aim to be a strong bridge between the product and developers, helping them move forward as smoothly as possible.
Below is a list of some of the contributions I’ve made to the community.

I met Chris at my very first conference as a speaker. This was my first community event where I didn't know anyone except from socials. He was welcoming and a pleasure to be around.
Since then I have seen his creative approach to devrel while at Split and been inspired by his passion about accessibility. He is authentic and driven which shines through his work and interactions with everyone in the community.
If you are reading the comments and hiring, you should absolutely get to know Chris. He would be a great addition to your team.
