From Code to Community: Making a Difference as an Advocate
summary
Developer advocacy at WSO2 for Quo turns code into blogs and tutorials, workshops and live trainings that simplify APIs and frameworks into step-by-step guides. Responsibilities include creating videos, running workshops, gathering developer pain points and shipping a user feedback loop back to product teams to fix UX and APIs. The role combines coding, public speaking, community building and product marketing; it shifts work from bug-fixing to measurable community growth and product improvements, started in 2021 as a transition from pure engineering.
