# Zachary Powell
DevRel Manager at Vonage with over a decade of Android roots.

## About

Zachary Powell manages developer relations at Vonage. Before shifting to DevRel and management in 2021, he spent over a decade building Android applications.

While his daily focus has expanded, he stays firmly rooted in the mobile ecosystem. Zachary also examines how developers frame new technology. He recently explored the distinction between artificial intelligence and artificial knowledge, arguing that modern tools are better understood as advanced pattern recognition rather than autonomous thought.
