Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJason Stirnaman is a product-focused documentation leader and former software engineer with 15+ years building developer-facing systems and content for time-series platforms, finance, and academic libraries. He currently manages documentation as a product at InfluxData, optimizing content for both humans and LLMs, shipping an "Ask AI" experience, and integrating docs into product UX and AI agents. With deep hands-on experience in docs-as-code, OpenAPI, Hugo, and CI-driven pipelines plus a background in React/TypeScript and backend stacks, he bridges engineering, product, and design to improve developer experience. Jason’s librarian roots and history of automating ETL and search systems give him a rare combination of metadata thinking and pragmatic engineering, and his GitHub contributions to InfluxData’s docs show a focus on accurate, testable API examples that reduce developer friction.
