I’ve spent this year immersed at @vercel, and now it’s time for me to get back to building. It’s been a whirlwind of experiences, surrounded by GOATs 🐐 and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Things I’m proud of: ✦ Helping shape the community platform, including Vercel’s own hackathon platform, and events / meetups spaces ✦ Growing our London presence and creating builder experiences across multiple community events, including bringing Vercel’s biggest UK hackathon to life ✦ Leading the Vercel IRL program, supporting the people bringing builders together across the globe ✦ Growing community partnerships and raising the profile of London’s best tech communities at Day Zero, our biggest dev community gathering in London ✦ Building out community systems, including our internal AI agent for community operations ✦ Sharing rooms in collaboration with the coolest partner companies and people from @OpenAI, @supabase, @cursor_ai, @GoogleDeepMind and more ✦ Getting up on stage to deliver educational yaps about the ways of shipping with Vercel Above all, one of the things I will treasure most about my time here is the people, both inside and out. The way Vercelians have shown up, even in their own time, to share their knowledge with the community and to lend a helping hand, it’s unmatched. I’ve also learned and been inspired by many talented folks across the org who are doing great things. And of course, shout out to the Vercel Community! It’s been wonderful to connect with so many of you. There’s a lot of energy and care that’s put in behind the scenes, and event days can be long and tiring - but they were also super rewarding. I loved talking with builders about their ideas and what they are cooking. Yes our events were a space to learn about Vercel, but they were also a space where people could try new things, meet new friends, and almost always, there were people making things exist. I loved to see it - rooting for you all! For the final time “this is your friendly reminder, you can just ship things”. 🖤
