Summary
Bolaji Ayodeji is a software engineer, developer advocate, and technical coordinator with 8 years of experience helping dev-tools, startups, and non-profits scale through developer relations, technical content, and open-source community building. As DPG Evangelist at the UN-endorsed Digital Public Goods Alliance, he assesses and supports open projects aiming to drive sustainable development while shaping DPG strategy and stakeholder education. He has a strong hands-on engineering background—shipping docs, SDKs, demos, and web tooling—paired with measurable community growth work such as growing Open Source Community Africa’s Discord to 4,000+ members and running a 30+ chapter program. Bolaji’s work spans technical writing, curriculum design, and product-led DevRel where he applies frameworks (Diataxis, AAARRRP, Orbit) to turn developer education into acquisition and retention. He regularly publishes tutorials and newsletters, speaks at conferences, and creates open-source learning materials to uplift developer skills across Africa and beyond. Unusually, he blends grassroots community operations with strategic product advocacy, making technical programs both practical and impact-driven.
