Saif Ali Shaik
Founding Developer Advocate · Bengaluru
I care about the end-to-end developer experience, from API design and SDK ergonomics to docs architecture and onboarding flows. I ship CLIs, write friction logs, propose product changes, and build the tooling that makes adoption feel effortless. Currently at Scalekit, previously at Freshworks. Both as the founding DevRel hire.
