// what i do

• developer relations
• technical writing & docs
• developer education
• technical product management
• community support
• python & js/ts

The part I love most is the space between a community and the people building for it: running the forum, reading what users trip on, and turning it into fixes, features, and better docs. I've done that at every altitude: answering threads myself, leading a team of writers and content strategists, and setting the roadmap for the library. When something needs a tool I haven't touched, I go learn it, and I'll write the guide, ship the fix, or record the video, whatever gets a developer unstuck.

4. Developer Advocate Streamlit/2021–22

   Part of the founding DevRel team: sole technical writer and second DevRel hire. Ran the community forum and was the go-to person when users were stuck; migrated all the docs onto a new Next.js + MDX platform.

// a few things i made

docs.astrobee.ai

Docs for an AI agent platform, built from scratch: every guide, demo, and asset the team pitched with. docs.astrobee.ai ↗

docs.streamlit.io

Migrated off Sphinx/ReadTheDocs onto a custom Next.js + MDX platform, then owned end to end: guides, tutorials, the auto-generated API reference, and the thousands of commits behind them. docs.streamlit.io ↗ my commits ↗

community & education

Helped start and run the Discord and Slack communities and the creator program, on top of the forum.

guided projects on Coursera

The first Guided Projects on the platform; every lesson is a notebook the learner builds alongside me. coursera.org/instructor/snehan-kekre ↗

// streamlit, the library

Docs were only half the job. As technical PM for Streamlit's open-source library I ran features end to end and authored a fair bit of the code and bug fixes myself. 89 merged PRs ↗
