Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Pousty is a Principal Community Architect and founder with over 18 years in developer relations, specializing in bridging engineering, product, marketing, and sales to build vibrant developer and data science communities. He has led and mentored DevRel teams across cloud-native, geospatial, and database domains—shaping strategy, documentation, and hands-on samples that drive adoption for projects like PostgreSQL/PostGIS and Kubernetes from their early days. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and manager, his style emphasizes implicit trust, shielding teams from politics, and aligning strengths to company goals while growing junior advocates. Technically fluent in Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL and spatial analytics, he pairs deep domain knowledge in statistics and spatial tech with practical product work—designing APIs, filing feature requests, and creating tutorials and bootcamps. Based in California, he runs Tech Raven Consulting and advises clients on DevRel, AI, geospatial data analytics, and cloud-native apps, often using code and OpenAPI-driven automation to improve developer experiences. An experienced speaker and educator, he has presented to audiences from intimate workshops to thousands, and maintains active community footprints on StackExchange.
