Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarcos Placona is a seasoned developer-relations founder and product-minded engineer with 16 years shipping code and a track record of turning DevTool launches into measurable growth for Seed–Series B companies. He founded DevRel Bridge and LinkIntel, led global DevRel teams at Twilio and Circle, and ran a DevRel-first launch for Airtop that drove thousands of signups and a #1 Product Hunt. Equally comfortable in code—contributing to high-profile repos like Twilio's C# helper library—and in GTM, he combines technical content, SEO, onboarding, and community programs to drive signup-to-paid conversion. He excels at helping small teams (10–50 people) turn polished products into developer-favored tools by shortening the path to the “aha” moment. An understated strength: he scales DevRel operations globally while still shipping product features and integration tests himself.
