In the AI era, many tech roles are taken before they even reach a job board. For some, it’s a moment of disappointment, while for our next hero, it’s the reason to build her Web3 DevRel network, making herself independent from job boards entirely.
We’re happy to announce that our latest Women Leading the Way interview is live! The interviewee is Bianca Buzea, Founder of DevRel Uni and a veteran developer relations professional with AWS and Web3 startups background.
Bianca made the full leap into Web3 after ETHDenver 2022, which may look reckless from the outside, but felt entirely natural to her. In this interview, she speaks candidly about what developer relations actually means in Web3, why it has nothing to do with sales, and how community is what ultimately makes developers choose you.
She also challenges the conventional wisdom around diversity in tech. Bianca argues that women’s panels, rather than solving the imbalance in society, simply reverse it. What actually changes things, in her view, is mentorship: having someone a few steps ahead, holding a torch.
DevRel Uni, the community and education platform she built from scratch, was born from the same idea, and it closes her gestalt. Many of its graduates have gone on to build careers in DevRel, start their own projects, or find an entirely new way of showing up in tech. Some credit the programme as a genuine turning point.
As Bianca puts it: “Visibility creates possibility.” And for anyone still hesitating about whether to make the leap into Web3 or DevRel, she says: “If you are on the fence, my honest advice is to just start. The space needs more diverse voices, and yours is one of them.”
