Bringing GenAI to the World

At DataStax, I integrated DataStax with AWS Bedrock

I authored a LinkedIn Learning course (rated 4.5) on GenAI and Vector Search. I am creating a similar course for API Masters.

I have worked with many embedding and LLMs, including OpenAI, HuggingFace, GPT and Titan.

Making Learning Fun and Engaging

I wrote a book on APIs covering best practices for making amazing interfaces.

I have created tutorials, workshops, videos and blog posts.

My favorite content flow is creating a sample application, writing up instructions in the README, then doing a live video workshop with the example – and adding a blog post to cover all different kinds of learners.

Call me a polyglot

I am able to code in several different languages, currently most of my work is TypeScript and Python.

There are GitHub examples with code samples I have created. For instance, there is a Python script which gathers information about sample applications and a TypeScript application to present the data.

Reach developers where they are

I am used to monitoring and engaging with users in forums, Discord, Slack and even StackOverflow and Reddit.

I enjoy traveling to conferences and attending local meetups.
