Most technical people can build. Most business people can sell. I sit in between- technical enough to understand the product, business-aware enough to know how it grows. I've worked across Software & cloud infrastructure, developer advocacy, and GTM for early-stage US and Israel-based startups- always in roles where shipping something and making it adopted were the same job. What I've shipped 🚢: 1. 30%+ AWS cost reduction for biotech/pharma clients- EC2 rightsizing, Glacier migrations, Spot Fleet, Python/boto3 automation 2. Built Spooc.ai- live on AWS Marketplace (cost optimization across EC2, EBS, RDS, ELB, AMI) 3. Fine AI developer community growth → acquired by HoneyBook (Tier-1 US Fintech) 4. Docs and onboarding from scratch for 3 AI/cloud platforms (xpander.ai, Catio, Provengo) 5. GTM playbooks, competitive battlecards, and outbound sequences for US/Israel AI startups 6. Developer communities → 1,000+ active members Background 📈: 1. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner ☁️ 2. CNCF Ambassador 🇮🇳 3. CNCF Glossary Maintainer 4. Kubernetes contributor (v1.29) 5. Grafana User Group Delhi Lead (600+ devs) 6. LFX Mentee- Linux Foundation 7. CNCF Glossary Maintainer(OSS) - (2023-25)
