How do you typically describe the role of being a freelance developer advocate? How long do you normally work with companies, and what can they expect from leveraging your services?
Doug is a seasoned developer relations leader - most recently with several startups. He's a Google Developer Expert and an O’Reilly author. Available for consultations.
I am working with a few companies to help them advance their developer outreach. I'm writing documentation, helping them frame their outreach plans (rather than focus on everyone and everything - focus on the top groups that will advance their program the most).
I can also represent companies at conferences - as a speaker - or in a booth - helping to share the developer experience.
Basically, anything that you might want a developer advocate to do (or help your current team with because they are overloaded with things to do).
I have a feeling that I'll work with some companies for a short period, others for longer.
I also run performance audits on mobile apps and websites - to look for performance issues that can be resolved to speed up apps, and improve customer experiences and retention.
