Hi everyone — Maria here 👋
I recently joined PagerDuty as a Community Program Manager and wanted to properly introduce myself.
Before joining PD, I spent most of my career designing developer programs across open source, Web3, and space-tech communities. That mostly meant running hackathons, education tracks, and experimentation programs that help devs explore new tools, share feedback, and build cool integrations.
PagerDuty’s developer and community ecosystem is still evolving, which honestly makes it a very exciting space to join. B2B developer communities often look very different from open-source ones – devs are usually balancing community engagement with their day jobs, which changes what feels valuable, fun, or realistic to participate in.
I’m curious to learn from you:
👉 What kinds of developer programs feel genuinely useful or enjoyable to you?
👉 What formats feel exciting vs. what feels like extra work?
Some examples I’ve worked with before include:
• Hackathons
• Integration / automation sprints
• Guided learning challenges
• Office hours or problem-solving sessions
• Partner or customer workflow labs
If you’ve participated in anything like this before – inside or outside PagerDuty ecosystem – I’d love to hear what worked (or didn’t). I’m here mostly to listen and learn first, so any thoughts or experiences are very welcome.
