About Me
Roan Weigert
I’m a San-Francisco-based DevRel AI Engineer and storyteller. I help developers and teams turn AI infrastructure into practical, working use cases, through demos, tutorials, video, and community.
I currently lead Developer Relations at GMI Cloud. Previously at Aparavi I grew a developer funnel to thousands of monthly visits and a 500+ builder community. Before that: 300% lead growth for auto dealerships, 1,600+ videos across six countries, and the launch of Brazil’s first mass-produced RV.
My passion is turning messy data and complex tech into clear stories that spark action, in boardrooms, on YouTube, and on conference stages.
