Steven Coochin is a seasoned technology leader and builder with over two decades of coding experience and a 12-year track record in executive and developer-relations roles across startups and enterprise firms. He blends hands-on engineering, product-focused ops, and community growth—having held senior DevRel roles at PayPal, Xero, IBM, Snyk and Lumigo before moving into CTO/CIO/CEO roles and directing multiple ventures from Queensland. Known for solving “gnarly” operational problems, he ships practical tools and platforms while mentoring developer communities and advising innovation teams. Off-grid in a tiny smart home powered by solar, he brings a pragmatic, self-sufficient mindset to distributed systems and edge use cases. Pragmatic, community-minded, and entrepreneurial, he pairs deep technical fluency with a knack for turning messy operational challenges into reliable, repeatable solutions.
