Why developer insights?
Why developer insights?
When I ran Built for Devs as an agency, I worked with various technologies. To get up to speed, I'd bring in developers matching my clients' target audience to try the product and share their thoughts on how it applied to their work.
Those sessions drove the biggest impact.
So I pivoted to focus exclusively on developer insights—candid feedback from the right developers creates breakthroughs. Our 6,000+ developer network (mostly US-based) tries your product while screen-recording and narrating their experience.

"The ROI was HUGE. What we got from Built for Devs was completely different—actionable, clear insights that gave us a real sense of where to go next. Honestly, this was critical to our process. We wouldn’t have been able to get these results on our own."

"Tessa's passion for the DevRel work was very much a differentiating factor. In our conversations, her enthusiasm for a good Dev Experience and DevRel function stood out. It gave us confidence that she's not only skilled at her craft but also cares deeply about the quality of her work."
Stephen Goldberg, CEO, HarperDB
"Tessa's difference factor is that she shows up with empathy and understanding while knowing her shit really really well."
John Vajda, DX, Deepgram
"Tessa’s coaching has turbocharged my growth in DevRel leadership, leveling up my skills 10x. Her insights have been a game-changer, sharpening my strategic thinking, communication style, and my ability to build solid stakeholder relationships—boosting the value and impact of my DevRel team."
Matt Cano, Developer Partnerships at Snapchat
"..the first thing that comes to mind is that Tessa inspires better than pretty much anyone I know. A combination of her energy, her optimistic outlook and technical depth make her really effective at inspiring people to see what is possible or what could be accomplished by working together with her.”
Alston Cheek, Director of Partnerships, Snapchat
"The first thing that comes to mind about Tessa is that she deeply understands the wants and needs of the developer audience and is able to empathize with them and advocate for them with internal teams. To say another way, she's great at ensuring the teams that build products for developers do so in a way that is developer-friendly and gets at the core of the problem they’re trying to solve. As a bonus, I think she's great at putting all of this into detailed strategy, documents, and plans that are easy to follow and help rally a team behind her to solve."
Chris Lema, CEO, Motivations.AI
"Dogged persistence is what I think separates Tessa from everybody else. The difference is, when she's on the trail for her client, she's going to run as hard as she can. She'll break every barrier and push through every issue to deliver for them. This level of partnership is unlike anything they've ever experienced. If I were talking to them, I'd say, "Listen, there will be many people who can do this. here's the difference you're going to see from Tessa: dogged pursuit."
