About Luke Kilpatrick
With over 15 years in product marketing, product management, and developer relations, I’ve helped companies like VMware, Atlassian, Nutanix, and LinearB grow meaningful connections with developer communities around the world.I’m passionate about bridging the gap between products and the people who build with them. Lately, I’ve been working with AI tools like PyTorch, ComfyUI, and open-source generative models to prototype, create, and support startups exploring what’s next in tech.Outside of work, I run an oceanfront Airbnb and diving charter in Monterey Bay and write the Mia Kingtide children’s book series, inspired by my daughter and a shared love for the sea.
