About

Kin Lane is an Analyst for Gigaom Research. He been working in technology for over 20 years. He remembers building his own relational databases, and generating stacks of floppy disks to distribute software to clients. After spending much of his career online, he strongly believes in the openness and distributed nature of the Internet, and that the Web will be the vehicle to deliver on the promises of technology.

He has lived as a programmer, database administrator, architect, product developer, manager and executive, with experience in business development, sales and marketing–all while living with chronic entrepreneurialism. In this decade he’s rolled all that experience into a new persona, one that focuses exclusively on APIs–called the API Evangelist.

He spends his days studying the business and politics of the API and telling stories from the space. He thrives on monitoring the API industry in real-time, but also enjoys looking back at the history, as well as tracking on new trends that are emerging.

He is a full time evangelist, not for a single API, but for APIs in general. His focus is not just on developers, but helping the rest of the world understand the value and potential of APIs.
