The blog outline that beats all other blog outlines (for me).

We got to chatting about streams about writing good content and making a good CFP and here's the template that I use to create my content. I find it's super helpful for getting started or understanding what point that you want to get across.

Reflections on Re:Invent '23

Re:Invent was my first conference as a DarkLauncher — and one that made me quite excited for what’s to come in my future. Not only was this my first time meeting much of the team IRL, but it was also my first chance to see projects that I had contributed to in action.

From Talk to Takeoff: harnessing the PyData Berlin presentation as a catalyst for our larger content efforts.

A well-executed conference talk's beauty lies in its immediate impact and ability to fuel a larger momentum across content, education, and user adoption. Let's dive in to see how one talk about Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) affected our efforts.

Enabling User Adoption for New Generative AI Templates through Education

At the heart of any new product development lies one critical component — the user. This reality was at the forefront of our minds as we updated Label Studio to the newest 1.8 release. These new features could be lost in the shuffle without our users' understanding and adoption.

For Hire

I’m on a quest for my next adventure. I'm a multi-hyphenate developer community advocate. I am passionate about finding new and innovative ways to communicate, educate, and elevate others.

From Zero to Hero: Creating Beginner-Friendly Content for Label Studio.

Due to the fever behind machine learning, there’s a rapidly expanding need for introductory content. My directive was to guide new users with a friendly helping hand, with the goal of further democratizing this intimidating process.

Why I'm bullish on React Bricks.

With React Bricks, you can enjoy the ease of use of a drag-and-drop, no-code editor with the flexibility of a custom-built solution. Bygone are the days when building an utterly customizable site with code was inconvenient and required expansive developer effort.

How to Throw an Eleventh-Hour Happy Hour

Here's how I get scrappy and use tools like WhatsApp and strategic co-conspiring to maximize the impact of the conferences I'm attending.

Giving a Damn About the Industry as a Whole

The best tool for the job is the one that maximizes the impact of the job that I am doing. Now that’s not to say I won’t be using community tools. I do, and I will. I even pay for many of them for work and play. I will no longer be looking at them with rose-colored glasses on anymore.

Substance over Hype, Signal over Noise

Community-driven spaces are crafted and cultivated with time, energy, intention, and effort. If you’re in or around the community space, acknowledge this.
