Work
I work at the intersection of software and community — helping developers understand tools, build integrations, and ship. As a Developer Advocate @ Global Payments, that means getting close to the SDKs, writing samples and guides, and showing up where developers are. I'm interested in how AI is changing that work: how it accelerates integration, reshapes what documentation looks like, and shifts what “enablement” actually means.
