Listen "S9 E17: Jake Ward, Data Protocol"
Episode Synopsis
Jake Ward originally from a small town in Maine, and claims to be running away from the snow by living in South Carolina now. He worked in politics for a while - in the House, the Senate, and Public Affairs before starting the Application Developers Alliance. That spurred on the next chapter of his life. Outside of tech, he has 3 kids and enjoys golf. He loves to cook and spend time with his kids, playing basketball or exploring life sciences. He also mentioned that every 5 years, he tends to buy another house, have another kid, and start a new business.Jake figured out that 85% of developers want their content through video, over documentation or other means of info comms. He believes that developers are building the world around us - and the world is underperforming in how those people are supported. He decided to change this, and set out to build docs and guidance learnings into one video content platform.This is the creation story of Data Protocol.SponsorsPorkbun: Use the link codestory.co/porkbun and get a .dev, .app, or .foo domain name for only $5!CacheFlyClearQueryKiteworksLinkshttps://dataprotocol.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobmward/https://developersalliance.org/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
