"My new role is a Senior Developer Evangelist for Webflow. Webflow has a web-based designer for creating and managing web sites, and while the primary tool is focused on designers and business-type users, the platform has multiple different developer-centric endpoints. As someone who has been working on the web for an incredibly long time, I look at visual/web-based tools like this with a bit of skepticism."
"One of the really cool things about Webflow is all the ways a developer can extend and work with the platform itself. I feel like our Designer can cover 90% of most people's needs, and the extensions available to coders easily cover the rest. I'm also beyond excited to be working on a web-platform centric product. I love APIs, but I haven't had an opportunity to work directly with web sites like this for a while."
I am no longer on the job market and recently started as a Senior Developer Evangelist at Webflow. A recent quick layoff affected me, but the current role and coworkers feel safe and rewarding. Webflow provides a web-based Designer aimed at designers and business users while exposing multiple developer-centric endpoints and extension points. Visual web tools still prompt skepticism due to limited direct code access, but Webflow balances a robust Designer covering most needs with coder-friendly extension options. The role offers direct web-platform work and API interaction. Shared links include a URLPattern-based web component router experiment and a book titled "How Seniors Learn AI."
