Ep 35 - Agency Owner to App Builder with Nicole Pereira | Developers:After Dark

How do HubSpot Developers reinvent the developer identity? Nicole joins us to trace the path from “webmaster” days to RevOps, personal branding, and vibe coding—where AI supercharges builders.

In this episode of Developers After Dark, Nicole shares how early web tinkering, SEO, and rescuing gnarly corporate projects led to building top HubSpot agencies—then pivoting into RevOps long before it was cool. We dig into why HubSpot’s platform empowers systems thinkers, how a personal brand for devs multiplies opportunities, and why “vibe coding” with AI is unlocking a new builder era. If you’ve ever wondered how to align your skills, story, and tools into a durable developer identity, this one’s for you.
