๐ Curiosity Coder | Problem Solver | Forever student
Hi! Iสผm Dhanashri, your friendly neighborhood Developer Advocate, on a mission to make tech accessible, secure, and simply fun!! I specialize in enabling organizations to adopt cool solutions, particularly leveraging AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot to drive innovation and productivity
My journey to DevRel is built on a solid foundation:
- I bring over 4 years of experience in sales in the tech industry, which means I've spent a lot of time understanding how businesses use technology and what challenges they face
- I have a strong technical background, with over 12 years of experience as a Professional Services consultant and prior engineering roles. This helps me dig into the technical side deeply and quickly adapt to new environments
- I genuinely love connecting with people . Growing up in India and traveling extensively has given me a global world view and the ability to connect meaningfully with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. This is super helpful for building community!
- My background also taught me to quickly zero in on problems and work really well with different teams to help find solutions. Call it innovative problem-solving
Letโs build a future where humans and AI create, solve, and growโtogether!๐ปโจ
