Jacob Plicque III

Developer Advocate, and future fantasy author who thrives on building connections between People, Systems, and Stories. With over 13 years in the tech industry spanning Cloud, SRE, Solutions Architecture, Chaos Engineering, and Observability, he has spent the last several years crafting engaging technical narratives in the world of DevRel. Currently working as a DevRel contractor, Jacob brings his passion for making complex technology accessible, exciting, and deeply human through storytelling, community building, and live engagement. Whether he's breaking down intricate systems for developers or weaving epic worlds for future readers, storytelling is always at the heart of his work. When he's not creating content or speaking at conferences, you’ll find him lost in a video game, writing his next fantasy adventure, or rolling dice in a D&D campaign. His loyal dog, Cooper, ensures that all creative endeavors include plenty of breaks for belly rubs. Whether in tech or fiction, Jacob believes that every great adventure begins with a story...and he's just getting started.
