Beyond Engagement: Developer Experience, Databases & AI with Jay Gordon

​Beyond Engagement: Developer Experience, Databases & AI with Jay Gordon

​Join us for a morning of connection and conversation with fellow Developer Relations and developer‑focused professionals featuring Jay Gordon, Senior Program Manager for Azure Cosmos DB at Microsoft. Jay brings years of experience in developer advocacy, cloud infrastructure, and community building, with a career spanning Microsoft, MongoDB, DigitalOcean, and the broader open‑source ecosystem.

​Jay will talk about what he’s learned helping developers build fast, reliable apps with Azure Cosmos DB. He’ll also share how good content, strong community programs, and real stories can make a big difference in how people adopt a product. From there, we’ll dig into how AI is changing the developer experience from new search techniques to the way we create documentation, learn, and build every day.

​This roundtable‑style meetup invites you to co‑create the conversation: ask questions, share your experiences, and explore how data, DevRel, and AI intersect in meaningful, practical ways. Whether you’re building community programs, shipping developer tools, or supporting technical audiences, this is a space to exchange ideas, spark collaboration, and build lasting connections.
