Hi, I'm Jordan. I'm VP of Engineering at Netwrix, and before that I spent five years building Developer Relations programs, most recently at SailPoint.

Most of what I know I learned by being given the opportunity to learn. I can build and run conferences end to end, but I once googled, "How do I run a conference?". I managed one of the largest and most active communities in identity security, but it started with me being a community manager in my spare time before I had any business calling myself one. This blog is mostly for me to remember my experiences, but it can be for you as well. I write down what I learn in case it saves myself the trouble again one day.

If there is a pattern in my work, it is that I consistently strive for a far greater outcome than the one we set: a developer conference on a $50k budget that brought in $12M of pipeline or a company's first AI service in just a week are just a couple examples where the end result was far beyond the goal.

I enjoy challenges and I love to build experience that truly delight people. These days at work I think mostly about how small teams build software with AI, and about making life easier for both the developers building it, as well as those on the other end. The rest of the time I am with my family and our dogs on our small plot of land in Ohio.
