Hey there, my name is Kelly J Andrews and I joined the Developer Relations team back in August. To be honest, I didn't want to announce I was working here until I was sure they would let me stick around for a bit. Now that it feels a bit more "safe," I'm happy to announce that I am the Extend initiative leader with Nexmo!
I have been performing Developer Relations functions for six years and writing code for more than fifteen, but what sealed the deal were my pipes. They found me on a karaoke stage here in Indianapolis, and frankly, knew they needed this kind of talent on the team.
I love building relationships that last. I enjoy the time I get with other developers in my community, but if I look sleepy, hand me a coffee. This is my normal state.
As a father of 6, I "had" the patience of Job, and can bring the dad jokes for days. Typically you will find me roaming the conference halls begging people to go karaoke or showing them a card trick.
Kelly J Andrews is a developer advocate for Nexmo and has been tinkering with computers for over 30 years, using BASIC for the first time at the age of 5.
It wasn't until building his first webpage in 1997, and trying out JavaScript for the first time that he found a true calling. Kelly now fights for JavaScript, testable code, and fast delivery.
You can find him singing karaoke, performing magic, or cheering for the Cubs and Fighting Irish.
