John Vajda is an impact-driven Head of Product with 13 years of product leadership and 10 years of hands-on software development experience, specializing in developer experience, API strategy, and PLG growth. He has repeatedly scaled developer ecosystems—from launching SDKs that powered over a billion API calls to rebuilding docs and starter apps that cut onboarding from days to hours. John blends technical credibility (TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET) with community-building chops, contributing to prominent docs projects like Twilio SendGrid and leading open-source engagement at Apollo and New Relic. He’s equally comfortable defining API standards and sprint-level engineering decisions, having implemented AsyncAPI/OpenAPI processes and led cross-functional teams. Based in Colorado, he combines product rigor with a hacker’s curiosity—recently accelerating feature delivery via prompt engineering and AI-assisted development.
