Technical Evangelist

A Technical Evangelist's job is to make complex technology feel obvious, exciting, and worth adopting. That sits exactly at the intersection of three things I've spent my career doing.

A real builder, not a presenter pretending

Over a decade hands-on with web platforms — Laravel, Vue, Astro, the WordPress ecosystem, and the SEO/performance plumbing around them. I've shipped products as a freelancer, a lead developer, and a part-time CTO. When I demo a tool, I've used it under real constraints, not just read the docs.

Five years as a professional coach before I was a developer

I ran a personal coaching practice from 2010-2015 and learned how to actually move someone from confused to confident. That's the core skill of evangelism — helping people see what they couldn't see before.

Sales without the sleaze

Running a digital agency meant I had to sell — to skeptical buyers, on technical merit, against bigger competitors. I learned how to articulate value to non-technical stakeholders and stand by what I shipped.

Customer empathy as a default

Years of agency work and customer service taught me that the audience's frustration is signal, not noise. Evangelism is downstream of listening.

This page is curated for the Technical Evangelist role specifically — pitch above, then the relevant skills, experience and references below.
