SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a bit about your background, and what you focus on these days at Postman? Tell us a little bit about Postman, for our audience that might not be familiar. 

Topic 2 - Let’s begin with some broader concepts - in today’s world, where does a developer interact with software vs. an API - what are the most important things they have to think about?

Topic 3 - What are the standards that are most important for developers these days? Where does OpenAPI Spec fit into that space?

Topic 4 - APIs are now so pervasive. What are the best practices for API usage patterns and governance? What are some of the things that Postman is doing to improve this for developers and companies?

Topic 5 - Let’s talk a little bit about how you’re seeing AI change how developers work, and if/how AI is impacting APIs.

Topic 6 - Help us understand how you expect to see APIs interacting with AI Agents. What will the bigger picture look like for these interactions, and how will they be different than current API interactions?

Topic 7 - Can we finish by talking about MCP (Model Context Protocol) a little bit? This is a new standard that is being adopted by many companies.
