Welcome to my infrequent newsletter about DevOps, DevSecOps, and cloud trends.


Welcome! I’m Will Kelly—a principal writer, and content strategist based in Northern Virginia. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in crafting content that bridges the gap between complex technologies and the people who need to understand and use them. My career has been a journey through the evolving landscapes of DevOps, cloud solutions, enterprise mobility, and more.

My story

As a freelance writer and content strategist, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of organizations, from tech startups to established enterprises. My work has appeared in leading technology publications such as CIO, TechTarget, and InfoWorld, where I’ve explored topics like DevOps transformation, toolchain security, and cloud migration practices.

Some of my earlier work includes writing about enterprise mobility, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), mobile security, and cloud computing for outlets like IBM Mobile Business Insights, Samsung Business Insights, TechBeacon, and CNET TechRepublic. These experiences gave me a front-row seat to the rapid technological shifts shaping the modern workplace.

Recent adventures in tech marketing

In my most recent corporate role, I was a Senior Product Marketing Manager for an edge computing startup, where I spearheaded messaging, positioning, and content strategies for a new go-to-market initiative. I also dug into competitive intelligence research, managed PR agency collaborations, and guided the case study development process from start to finish.

Prior to that, as a Technical Marketing Manager for a container security startup, I played a key role in developing the company’s first white papers and thought leadership content. From DevSecOps to software supply chain security, I worked to translate technical concepts into compelling stories that resonated with both commercial and public sector audiences.
