As a Founding Developer Relations Engineer at Kilo Code, I bridge the gap between the developer community and Kilo Code’s AI-powered tools and services. My responsibilities include creating technical content, delivering presentations, building demos, and engaging with developers to gather feedback and improve the developer experience. I work closely with product, engineering, and marketing teams to ensure Kilo Code’s offerings meet the needs of developers and help them leverage AI effectively in their workflows.
