Senior Developer Relations Engineer

Idris Olubisi

I’m a backend engineer who moved into developer relations and now builds AI agents. For seven years I’ve worked alongside the developers and builders using a product, finding the step that actually costs them time and shipping the fix, whether that’s courses, docs and tutorials, partner integrations and solution architecture, or production code.
