Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.

Hackathons, live coding, and interactive tutorials are all familiar cornerstones of DevRel practices we all know, but have you ever paused to consider why they resonate so deeply with developers, or why sometimes it feels like they just don’t work with your community? Join former classroom teachers Andrew and Pj as they unravel the educational theories underpinning these—and many more—of your favorite DevRel activities. Join us to gain insights into how developer outreach teams can leverage practical teaching theory to craft more impactful, inclusive, and effective community-building initiatives and activities. Together, we will discover how the science of learning can, and should, empower and inform the art of developer relations.
