Hugo Guerrero is a seasoned software leader with 14 years of experience turning ideas into scalable, production-grade systems across finance, logistics, and cloud platforms. Currently serving on the AsyncAPI Governance Board and heading Technical Marketing for Runtimes at Kong, he focuses on APIs, AI-driven capabilities, and event-driven architectures to modernize how teams build and operate software. He combines hands-on DevOps and backend experience—evident from contributions to notable projects like Red Hat's AgnosticD and the OpenShift learn-katacoda portal—with product and developer advocacy to improve developer experience and adoption. As a former CTO and long-time Red Hat technical marketer and advocate, he translates complex technical patterns into practical enablement content, workshops, and community programs. Based in Massachusetts, he pairs a passion for continuous learning with a knack for making emerging patterns approachable, and he’s equally likely to discuss API strategy or the best meal discovered while traveling.
