Summary
Kenny Rogers is a DevRel leader and founder with 11+ years building software and 4+ years scaling developer ecosystems, most notably creating the Stacks DevRel program from scratch to help make it the 7th fastest‑growing developer ecosystem in 2025. He blends hands‑on engineering (React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Electron) with strategy—designing docs, hackathons, workshops, grants, and accelerators—to drive developer adoption. Today he leads DevRel at OpenRouter and runs Leatherback Studio, an AI consulting practice that trains teams, maps AI automation opportunities, and ships production automations. Kenny’s day‑to‑day building with Claude Code and his background in web3/Bitcoin developer education give him a rare mix of decentralized-systems literacy and practical AI automation experience. He’s open to DevRel roles at AI companies and consulting engagements where developer programs must translate directly into product adoption.
