Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoe Mccarron is a seasoned product and developer platform leader with 12 years of experience building and scaling API-first B2B platforms, currently heading Developer Advocacy for AI DX at Skyflow. He has led teams and product strategy across secure data platforms, GraphQL tooling, and large-scale platform initiatives at companies like Zendesk and Apollo GraphQL, consistently turning architectural vision into enterprise-grade products. Joe combines hands-on engineering—founding and building an AI teaching-assistant startup using vector DBs, RAG, and agentic architectures—with senior product leadership that grew platform adoption and product-led enterprise growth. He specializes in developer experience across APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), SDKs, CLIs, DBaaS, and consoles, and has recruited and scaled cross-functional teams to deliver complex migrations and new product lines. Notably, he pairs practical engineering craftsmanship (fast CLIs, custom eval frameworks, observability) with strategic product decisions that drove multi-fold growth and platform unification. Based in Oregon, he brings a rare mix of operator grit, platform thinking, and an educator’s curiosity that surfaces in his work on agents and developer tooling.
