Not-so-secretly
After graduating from a coding bootcamp in Berlin, I became convinced developer tooling is the fastest way to scale impact. I have spent the last decade building startups as an Engineer & growing them through Developer Relations.
Hey you, I'm Jules.
Ex-diplomat turned Software Engineer gone Founder.
I also throw adult summer camps for entrepreneurs.
Who's Jules?
Secretly
I'll hop on a plane faster than you can spell out the destination. I drink too much yerba mate. I will choose hot yoga over most plans - except maybe live music. I love a side hustle. Writing and coding is how I build evergreen leverage.
Originally from Panama, I now live in Miami, FL.
You find me in cute coffee shops, hot yoga studios, parks or wine bars.

FAQs
What kind of consulting do you do?
I specialize in three main areas: software development, technical education design, and go-to-market strategy for developer tools.
My sweet spot is working with teams that need someone who understands both the technical architecture and business strategy, especially when it comes to crypto products or developer-focused tools. I help entrepreneurs scope, architect, and scale their engineering teams. I diagnose and design developer experiences, educational curriculums, and go-to-market strategies. I thrive in Notion dashboards, Jira/Linear, and the entire JS stack.
We schedule an introductory call. We scope the requirements and I send over a proposal with a timeline, scoped phased work, and budget. And we kick the magic off!
What's your newsletter about?
Nerd Splash is my creative outlet to share insights I learn through my job. I drive lessons from entrepreneurship, software engineering, developer experiences, crypto, investing, and designing the best learning experiences.
I'm interested in the Adult Camp! Are you organizing more events?
You're in luck. We have a few more Adult Camps in motion coming up for 2025. Join here to receive updates!
We realized the principles that made Adult Camp successful – authentic connection, intellectual discourse, and strategic play – inform much of my current work in developer communities, and have taken a strategic approach at launching more similar events.
I notived you've lived in many places. Are you available for in-person work?
I primarily work remotely but am open to traveling for specific projects, speaking engagements, or workshops that align with my expertise.
Having that said - I've lived as a digital nomad for 7+ years and worked in countries on every continent, so I hold valuable relationships around the world. There's a high chance our lives will cross paths - reach out and let's connect!
Do you still teach?
While I've moved on from teaching full-time at Le Wagon, teaching is still my favorite part of my job.
I now focus on creating scalable technical education programs, particularly within the blockchain space. However, my experience teaching 200+ students across six countries informs how I approach developer education and documentation in my current projects and I'm always happy to upskill smaller teams to excellence. Let's chat!
