Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJason Yee is a Staff Technical Advocate with 13 years of experience helping engineers tell clearer, more impactful stories about their work and careers. Based in Portland, he blends hands-on software development—contributions to notable open-source projects like the devopsdays website—with developer advocacy roles at Datadog and Gremlin. His background spans software engineering, community management, and developer relations, giving him a rare mix of product, communication, and technical empathy. Jason’s design education informs a strong attention to craft in developer-facing content and tooling. He’s equally at home debugging backend logic as he is coaching engineers to present their work as narrative-driven technical content. Outside of work he’s a whiskey nerd, travel hacker, and occasional chef, which feeds his curiosity and creative approach to community building.
