Training

Start with API Fundamentals, master the craft and then build what agents want.

Emmanuel Paraskakis teaching at apidays New York

Your instructor

I've spent over 15 years building API products and developer tools, as VP of Product for Apiary, Swagger and Oracle's first cloud-native API gateway. Now I teach product teams how to build products that agents can use: what agents need, which mix of APIs, MCP, CLI and Skills to build, and how to ship it.

Since 2020

I've trained company teams since 2020: multi-day programs for up to 150 participants, built for each organization, on API-first products, product management and developer experience. In 2025 I brought the same material to Maven as live cohort-based courses. All three courses are in the Maven 100 for 2026, rated 4.8–5.0 by students.

Emmanuel has a real talent for consolidating the latest thinking and best practices on software product management and business models, and conveying it to others in a thorough yet easily-understandable way. He's a great source of insight for those looking to move their organizations forward.

Our product and design team found value in Emmanuel's vast understanding of the conventions and histories around API design, and we found the final hands-on exercise of speccing and building a working API and gateway practical and empowering. Recommended to product and design teams with a good foundational technical understanding.

Sara Saab Sara Saab · VP of Product, Prolific

Emmanuel is super knowledgeable on all things APIs. He also is innovative, thinking about MCP and how to leverage AI first workflows to build great APIs. Finally he cares about his learners. He met me for a pre-course zoom, stayed after class to chat extra with me when I had questions, and had a 100% answer completion rate during the class. I highly recommend taking a class with Emmanuel if you have the opportunity!
