    I am a seasoned Developer Relations professional with over a decade of experience, working with startups to large multinationals. My expertise spans tooling, education, and initiatives that support developers to learn and succeed with new technologies. I am currently a Senior Developer Advocate at [Apify](https://apify.com).

 I also run [Hack Labs](https://hacklabs.events), a hackathon consultancy focused on research & development. Previously, I was the Director of [You Got This](/blog/you-got-this), a program centered around core skills education for developers.

My focus is the stuff that compounds: workflows, onboarding, docs, content, and the habits that keep teams moving.

 **Bio:** Kevin is a developer advocate and educator with over a decade of experience in developer tooling, education, and community growth. He helps engineers learn faster, build better workflows, and get more value from the platforms and tools they use every day. He’s a JavaScript developer (often working with Vue), an avid boardgamer, and a tired dad of two amazing kids. He’s based in Berlin despite not drinking beer or liking techno.
