Work with me

Developer relations for developer tools and AI infrastructure

I help companies that sell to developers get from "what is this?" to code in production. I write the technical content, build the reference apps and integrations that prove the product, and run the sessions where developers build with it.

What I do

Five ways I help developers adopt your product

01

Launch narratives and technical content

Long-form articles, tutorials, and handbooks that take a developer from the problem to working code.

  • Kinde billing launch: 15 articles and a live AI SaaS app, 18,000+ views against a 15,000 target
  • Handbooks on freeCodeCamp and tutorials on DEV covering auth, billing, AI agents, and Convex
02

Reference apps and starter kits

Runnable demos that show one hard problem and how your product solves it, with an article for each.

  • Jev Gatehouse: checks every AI agent tool call, 0.0% false allows in a 300-call benchmark
  • Contract Intelligence, Procurement Floor, and Evidence Locker in Kinde's starter-kits organization
03

Open-source integrations and components

Packages that connect your product to the frameworks developers already use.

  • 15 npm packages, 14 in the official Convex Components Directory
  • The official Kinde auth provider for Mastra and the four-part Kinde Agent Kit
04

Workshops, talks, and community

In-person and online sessions where developers build with your product.

  • v0 IRL Lagos for Vercel: 114 registrations, 98 attendees, 16 products shipped live
  • Speaker at DevFest Lagos 2026 on authenticating AI agents
05

DevRel reporting

A live dashboard of what each piece of work delivered.

  • I built and run DevRel Studio. My own Kinde work is public at kinde.devrel.studio

Questions

Common questions

Who I am

I build open-source infrastructure for AI agents, authentication, and billing, then write the guides that get other engineers running it. I do DevRel at Kinde, I'm one of 33 Convex Developer Champions, and I founded DevRel Studio.

What a developer relations engineer does for a startup

A developer relations engineer helps developers adopt a product. I do this in four ways: I write technical content that solves a real problem with the product, I build reference apps and open-source integrations, I run workshops and talks, and I measure what each piece of work delivers.

The companies I work with

I work with companies that sell to developers, mostly in authentication, billing, backends, AI agent frameworks, and AI infrastructure. Kinde, Convex, and Vercel each selected me within the same twelve months, and I worked with Bright Data's AI engineering team on their market research terminal.

Writing about AI agents, authentication, and MCP

Yes. These are my main topics. I have written about AI agent identity, delegation, step-up authentication, audit trails, the confused deputy problem, and secure MCP servers, and I built a working demo for each article.

Code as well as content

Both. I have published 15 npm packages, and I build the reference apps behind my articles, such as Jev Gatehouse and the Kinde Agent Kit. Each article comes with code that readers can run.

Building on Convex, or moving to it

Yes. I am one of 33 Convex Developer Champions. I built every client project at NextMVP, my product studio, on Convex, I have published 14 components in the official Convex Components Directory, and I help founders and engineers move their apps to Convex.

Where I am based

I am based in Lagos, Nigeria, and I work remotely.
