Wesley
Faulkner

We worked closely together on Alpaca's MCP Server, which later became one of the first financial apps officially integrated into ChatGPT from OpenAI. That would not have happened without his drive and creativity.

Wesley is exceptional at building communities. He consistently demonstrates a rare combination of empathy, strategic thinking, and genuine dedication to others' success.

Widely respected across the global AWS community, Wesley's commitment to creating memorable experiences, fostering connections, and driving tangible results is truly inspiring.

Wesley brings his whole, authentic self to work and encourages others to do the same. This authenticity earned trust with the AWS community and made it safer for those on his team to also come as themselves and to speak up.

If I had to boil down everything to a single word — empathy. Wesley has a lot of that, and that was a big part of his success here. He really did care about how our communities formed, grew, and worked with us.

Wesley has a gift for identifying gaps and possibilities and seeing a strategic path forward. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about digital content, forums, and online communities.
