DevRel and Technical Product Marketing
As a professional creator in DevRel and product marketing, I like to share my thoughts on what I’ve been learning about, how to improve your DevRel craft, and how to connect and help your community. Being in DevRel is honestly one of the most satisfying career tracks I’ve had!
I lived/breathed/wrote about Sitecore for over a decade, even if I have now moved on to another community. Over that time, I have covered quite a few topics. Jump into this section if you want to see my collection of news, guides, and community content from over the years!

Brymstone is pretty terrible | A Tale from the Borderlands
Jax’s ECHO Log entry #1: Not dead yet. Well, Penny, today was a pretty humiliating day. Luckily, I met some halfway-skilled Vault Hunters that kept my suit from getting too crumpled. The transport dropped us in some tiny village that smells like dead bodies, body odour, and butts. Somehow it still manages to have all… Read more

My 2022 Unwrapped!
All these apps love telling you about all the stuff you did in the past year, so I started collecting them together along with my own look at things. Here’s how 2022 went for little old me!

Who should I put on my project team?
Every now and then, somebody has asked me “what should my team look like”?

Every single project is different, and how… Read more

It all started by trying to over-engineer things with an Azure Function. And then it wouldn’t work! This blog post is mostly for me so that I can find this stuff later when I inevitably hit the same CORS issue. I had gone through the whole Microsoft tutorial for JavaScript Azure Functions, and then tested… Read more
