Over nineteen years of experience in software development and design.
I have been passionate about cloud technologies for the last nine years.
My journey with the cloud began with Azure. However, about three years later, AWS became my primary cloud provider at work. 
From the beginning, I was impressed by how cloud technologies help engineers in their work and help deliver solutions much faster and easier. 
For the last four years, my interests and work mainly focused on serverless infrastructure, containerized applications, and search. 
Besides that, I am also curious about other cloud providers, like GCP and Azure.

Allen Smith has spent more than two decades building technology, communities, and the occasional strange career detour. He has worked in Developer Relations and open-source ecosystems at companies including GitHub, Automattic, Gatsby, and Umbraco, helping grow developer communities and adoption around open-source platforms used by millions.

Before DevRel, Allen led IT across an eclectic mix of environments—from nonprofits and manufacturing to running infrastructure for a major metropolitan crime laboratory. Even earlier, he worked in the film industry as a screenwriter and editor, taught gifted students through Duke University Talent Identification Program, and once ran cameras for professional wrestling.

Allen has been writing code and using open-source software since 1998, when installing Linux meant downloading floppy disk images and hoping for the best. Today he works at the intersection of technology, community, and storytelling. He is also a licensed ham radio operator, a record producer, and a former congressional candidate.

In short: Allen is an unapologetic dabbler who believes the most interesting ideas happen where disciplines collide.
