Karl Hughes

Some people spend their whole lives looking for their “superpower”, but if you’re a DevRel, you’ve probably already found yours. Today we’re speaking to Founder of Draft.dev, Karl Hughes about his path through the startup world, and the ever-changing landscape it operates in.

Carolina Paradas

Carolina Paradas

We’re back from our break this week with an excellent chat about the world of Fintech! Carolina Paradas is the Vice President of growth at Fidel API, a classic aggregation API that lets you act on payments in real time.

Alex Rattray

Today we’re sitting down for a chat with Alex Rattray, founder of Stainless, to talk about what they do, and how AI could be shaking up the SDK space in a big way.

Courtney Yatteau and Raúl Jiménez Ortega

Courtney Yatteau and Raúl Jiménez Ortega

Today, we have a very wonderful unreleased episode from last year. It’s a dynamic duo on the pod today, as we’re joined by Raúl Jiménez Ortega and Courtney Yatteau from the Developer Experience Team at Esri.

Trey Botard

Trey Botard joins the ranks of our guests with an unconventional entry into DevRel. He’s the Head of Developer Relations at Atomic, a digital financial connectivity platform that manages online payroll transactions, and his origin story begins with wine.

Martyn Davies

Today we’re speaking to someone who could definitely give us all a few tips on how to make high quality, engaging DevRel content. We’re talking about Martyn Davies, the Developer Relations Leader at Zuplo, who joins us to talk APIs, developer experience and the wider world’s understanding of DevRel.

Ed Shee

It can be a hard pill for DevRels to swallow, that not everyone loves learning as much as we do - but at the end of the day, this itself becomes a problem that we can spend time learning to solve! Too meta? Today’s guest is Ed Shee, the CTO of Ignitus.

Nuno Job

You may have heard of something called a “can-do” attitude. Well for today’s guest, Nuno Job, it’s more of a “will-do” attitude, as he seems to breeze past industry neurotics and red tape with admirable ease. He’s here giving a little inspiration to those wanting to shake up the way things are done.

Pat Dwyer 2

If you’ve ever been tasked with public speaking, then you’ve probably found yourself amongst the large majority of people who consider it to be one of the scariest things a person can do. And if that’s the case, you might be interested to hear from today’s guest, Pat Dwyer.

Allan Knabe

We’re continuing to kick off the new year with Allan Knabe, the CEO and Co-Founder of apiable.io, an API portal that’s helping to smooth out the creation process. Building an API is harder than it looks, but it doesn’t always have to be such a difficult task.

Eoin Boylan 2

Welcome back! We’re bringing in 2025 (and with it a new, exciting lineup of guests) with an oldie but a goldie - Eoin Boylan.

Phil Leggetter

Top tip: if you’re thinking of getting into DevRel, just know that you will hate boxes of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Or at least that’s how today’s guest, Phil Leggetter feels about them.

Kevlin Henney

Today, we’re speaking to Kevlin Henney, who, if you scroll back far enough, you’ll see was one of our earliest guests on the podcast. We’re thrilled to have Kevlin back for a discussion on microservices, agile development and how developers can avoid the “factory line” work style.

Zameer Fouzan

Today we’re talking observability, open source, developer education and the politics of conference speaking. And we’re doing it all with our amazing guest, Zameer Fouzan from New Relic.

Jim Bennett

Coding is like spinning plates, and before you even start you've gotta be spinning seven of them. Today's guest is Jim Bennett, the Developer Advocate at Pieces For Developers, where they’re trying to make that plate spinning act run just a little smoother.
