Adewale Abati is a Staff Developer Advocate with a decade of experience building developer-focused web experiences and enabling teams to ship with AI. Based in Amsterdam, he combines hands-on front-end and full-stack engineering with developer relations, having led DevRel at CodeSandbox and now driving AI enablement at Block across products like Square and Cash App. He contributes to notable open-source projects—improving the CodeSandbox client UI and enhancing documentation and UX for the extensible AI agent Goose—demonstrating a sharp eye for accessibility and onboarding. Adewale's work spans modern web stacks (Vue, React, Nuxt) and backend systems (Laravel), and he routinely turns complex features into clear developer-facing templates and docs. Known as a tinkerer, he pairs experimental curiosity with practical solutions: from onboarding videos and social-icon integrations to deeplink redirects and search in documentation. He balances community advocacy with concrete engineering impact, helping teams adopt agentic AI workflows and improving developer experience end-to-end.
