Pachi Parra is a software engineer and seasoned Developer Relations leader with seven years of experience building developer programs, technical content, and community ecosystems across Brazil and LATAM. She founded Abacate DevRel to help companies connect authentically with developer communities, and has led DevRel efforts at GitHub, New Relic, and Nubank, launching initiatives like GitTogether and Local GitHub Star support. Fluent in Portuguese and English with conversational Spanish, she blends instructional design, event strategy, and open-source advocacy to make tooling more accessible and human-centered. Her background as a professional nanny and pediatric sleep consultant informs her strengths in patience, rapid problem-solving, and time management—skills she applies to community stewardship and mentorship. Pachi pairs an MBA-level focus on community strategy with hands-on content creation (tutorials, livestreams, workshops) to scale developer learning, engagement, and product feedback loops. Based in São Paulo, she’s equally at home writing docs, running meetups, and amplifying underrepresented voices in tech.
