&lt;p&gt;This week, I had someone reach out to me about a DevRel position. I had a
DevRel résumé ready to go, but it didn&amp;rsquo;t look great and it was kind of long. I
asked Claude Design to make me a beautiful résumé. Essentially I&amp;rsquo;m a &lt;code&gt;Dev&lt;/code&gt;
who enjoys &lt;code&gt;Rel&lt;/code&gt;, so &lt;code&gt;DevRel&lt;/code&gt; feels like a good pivot for me. It&amp;rsquo;s not really a
pivot, though. I&amp;rsquo;ve basically been doing some kind of evangelism for a long
time, especially in Open Source. Lately my fundraising work with The Perl and
Raku Foundation has allowed me to meet a lot of great people and connect with
some cool tech companies. Aside from full time, I&amp;rsquo;m also available to contract
with you for shorter terms, to help get your Developer Relations strategies
sorted, or I can help you out longer term in a part time capacity. The kids
call this &amp;ldquo;fractional&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-résumé"&gt;&lt;a class="heading-anchor" href="#the-r%c3%a9sum%c3%a9" aria-label="Permalink to this section"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;The résumé&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rather than hiding my light under a bushel, here&amp;rsquo;s the doc, in all of its glory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe src="olaf-alders-resume.pdf#toolbar=0&amp;navpanes=0&amp;view=FitH" title="Olaf Alders résumé" loading="lazy" style="display:block;width:100%;max-width:820px;aspect-ratio:8.5/11;margin:0 auto;border:0;"&gt;

&lt;h2 id="get-in-touch"&gt;&lt;a class="heading-anchor" href="#get-in-touch" aria-label="Permalink to this section"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;Get in touch&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m happy to have a chat with you about your DevRel strategies, or the lack of
them. Also, if you&amp;rsquo;re looking to donate to OSS specifically, I can really help
you out with that!&lt;/p&gt;
