With a finance degree, he taught himself to code and is now running his own startup via DevRel role with GitHub, He’s learned the importance of scaling through developer advocates. Brian has built a myriad of devrel tools and his opensauced.pizza. Brian shares some great advice for both developers and their organisations especially now in the light of industry layoffs: you need to advocate for your company’s product internally too.
