Episode 94 Tim Nolet CTO & Co-founder @ Checkly

This was another enjoyable episode for Richard where he gets to talk to the Co-Founder of a service he uses, regularly and with great success! Tim Nolet is the CTO and Co-Founder of Checkly, a synthetic testing tool. Don’t worry – Tim explains synthetic in this context. Tim built Checkly through bootstrapping. This was a side project that grew out of control! And of course, developer relations makes an appearance. Tim needed to make a conscious decision to dedicate 50% of his time to developer relations (again, before it really had a name) and this consistent focus on Checkly’s voice, useful, teaching resources like longer blogs etc. …and now they have over 800 customers and a growing team! More proof, if required, of the value developer relations. This podcast is for everyone, but is a great example to both tech and non-tech CEOs of tech companies to reassure them that devrel works. https://www.checklyhq.com/ Reach out to Tim here : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tnolet/ Find out more and listen to previous podcasts here: https://www.voxgig.com/podcast Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly updates and information about upcoming meetups: https://voxgig.substack.com/ Join the Dublin DevRel Meetup group here: www.devrelmeetup.com
