Karin started her career backstage with Eminem and 50 Cent—and ended up building global communities in open-source, AI, and cybersecurity. Along the way, she’s launched grassroots meetups, built developer advocacy programs at Neo4j, helped a startup scale to a million users, and consulted for companies from Temporal to Novartis. Now leading community at Torq, she’s passionate about creating spaces where people genuinely help each other—and aren’t just part of a “funnel.”
