Innovative Developer Relations & Community Leader with 15+ years of experience building engaged tech communities and strategic planning.
It’s been a year, for sure. Earlier this year I faced one of the hardest challenges as a manager: laying off members of my team. Later in the year, I found myself on the other side of the table, experiencing a layoff myself. 2024 also brought something new: an opportunity at Orkes. As the year winds down, I’m feeling relief, gratitude, and maybe a bit of momentum I haven’t felt in a while. For the first time in my career, I’m starting to feel truly responsible for helping shape strategy for something meaningful: the #Conductor and Orkes communities. It’s early days, but the potential here is incredible. Thank you to the Orkes co-founders for trusting me with this work. To the Conductor community’s top contributors this year—Robert Karlsson, Daniel Miller, Ben Pirt, Rakesh Upadhayaya—you’re the core of everything we’re building. And to my community friends—Dani, Reinaldo, Stacey, Rebecca, M. David—your encouragement and insights have meant the world. Here's to much more next year 🎉 Looking at the global map of the Conductor community below, I’m reminded just how expansive and connected this movement already is. I’m excited to keep building alongside you all in 2025.
Excited to see what’s ahead for you in 2025, Jeff 🙌 And, I cannot wait to see what’s ahead the map looks like at the end of 2025!
Hey thanks for the shout out friend! I'm looking forward to what's next for both of us this year Jeff Bull. 🚀 It's always great to partner with you. Now let's build this thing! #communitiesmatter #devrel #DRF #Aerospike #Orkes
Jeff it has been quite a year, amazing how you have pivoted and taken on a new opportunity which I know you will crush. Looking forward to catching up soon in the New Year! Appreciate having you in my circle. Cheers!
Glad you’re in a good spot, Jeff. My engagement with you was brief, but I enjoyed it thoroughly and found your positive spirit very encouraging. Godspeed!
Happy holidays Jeff. We're super glad to have you on the team too! 2025 looks so promising.
You've earned this Jeff! It's great to see you rolling again and there's no doubt in my mind you will be very successful. Happy holidays and New Year my friend!
