At Axosoft, one of our primary goals is to educate developers around the world about the power of using Git with GitKraken. We can’t be everywhere all the time though, and we don’t know your local tech communities like you do. So, we recently launched the GitKraken Ambassador Program in order to work more closely with professional and student developers globally to teach devs how to be more productive using our tools. 

After carefully evaluating hundreds of applications from over 60 countries, we are proud to welcome our first group of 71 ambassadors from 31 countries including: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Thailand, the United States, and Zambia.

These individuals are passionate about learning, teaching and engaging with their local tech communities. Let’s meet a few! 🤝

Josey Howarth

Fun Fact: Josey is an avid (and fast) reader; she has read 600 books in the last 12 months!

Josey has been a longtime GitKraken user and advocate, with a particular affinity for our Kraken Mascot, Keif. We even created the Keifa Lovelace, based on famed female computer scientist, Ada Lovelace, just for her!

GitKraken is a very visual tool. Everyone I mentor, build workflows for, etc—especially those just getting started in the world of Git—find it much easier to grasp how it all interlocks due to the GUI.

Josey is the Director of Love Sudo, a digital agency helping brands tell their story, and co-hosts DNI (Documentation Not Included), a live stream and podcast about software development on Twitch.

P.S. Check out this DNI episode, Have App Idea, ???, Profit!, featuring GitKraken’s own VP of Product, Hamid Shojaee!

Gatare is a natural born leader and teacher, taking it upon himself to share his knowledge of development with many others in his community. As a student at Kabarak University, Gatare is great about sharing GitKraken student resources with his peers.

Something I love most about software development is that there’s always an emergence of new tools that makes my workflow easier.

Gatare is a computer science undergrad specializing in UX/UI design, the Co-Lead of the Developer Student Clubs (DSC) Kabarak University, and enjoys playing volleyball and basketball in his spare time.

Marcin Zajkowski

Passionate about open-source, Marcin is extremely active in his local developer community and beyond. He shares his expertise frequently, whether speaking at events, hands-on mentorship and training, or on the #umbraCoffee YouTube channel.

The thing I love most about software development is the infinite possibilities of what we can achieve with it.

Not only does Marcin excel in development, he also frequently shares his insights on social media marketing. Earning over 4,000 followers on his Instagram, Marcin shares tips on increasing your Instagram audience and mastering social media in his upcoming book, “The Busy Programmer’s Guide to Social Media.”

Also serving as an Umbraco MVP, Marcin knows all too well what being a brand ambassador entails. We look forward to having our GitKraken tutorials translated into Polish! Stay tuned…

A frequent speaker at conferences around the world, Pivendren is passionate about sharing his knowledge with other developers and techies. He also serves as a Microsoft MVP and teaches students about development and Git—using GitKraken as the preferred client of course!

Every person I motivate in the slightest to take up a tech career is a win for me.

Being a small part of so many students foundations to their upcoming career is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had, and I hope to encourage others to do the same!
