Bio
Patrick Debois is a practitioner, researcher, and eternal learner exploring how AI agents are reshaping software development — not just for individuals, but for teams and organizations. As independent advisor, Product DevRel lead at Tessl, and curator of ainativedev.io, he studies AI-native development patterns, context engineering, and how the context flywheel turns everyday coding into organizational knowledge.
He accidentally coined the term DevOps in 2009 by organizing the first DevOps Days, and co-authored the DevOps Handbook. From DevOps to DevSecOps to AI-native dev — Patrick has been at the frontier of emerging practices, always drawn to the same question: how do teams get better, together?
He organizes AI Native DevCon and is a frequent conference speaker known for knowledge packed talks. His current work centers on context engineering, the Context Development Lifecycle (CDLC), and the organizational patterns that emerge when AI agents become teammates. He shares his ongoing research through talks, workshops, and the blog on jedi.be.
