Emmanuel Paraskakis will help you build what agents want

I’m Emmanuel, 3x VP Product, now a founder at Level 250.

If you built or used APIs in the past 15 years, chances are you’ve used one of my products:

I’ve led some of the most influential API tools: Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Swagger (750,000+ APIs) and Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway. Before that, I built large B2B API programs at Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely.

Today, I advise Fortune 500 CEOs and AI-forward startup founders on API Strategy, Developer Experience, MCP products, and AI agent readiness.

I'm also a member of OpenAPI and a featured speaker at apidays and other global technology conferences.

My passion is helping others build products, which is why I also teach on Maven: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers and Engineers fast-track their careers.

Build What Agents Want: MCP, APIs, Skills & Plugins

This class helped me get caught up on the latest software tools and techniques for building and deploying MCP servers, ChatGPT apps, Claude connectors, etc. It's very practical. As these things evolve, I might even take this class again!

API Product Mastery for Experienced PMs

All that Open API knowledge kicked in even further on Demo Day. It was great seeing how the business thinking and technical deep dives connected while looking at public APIs. Great hands on stuff and always keeping an eye to what's currently out there (MCP, AI). Looking forward to accessing all the knowledge Emmanuel offers.

API Fundamentals for Product Managers

You think you don't need it because of years of experience, but guess what we all have gaps. Such a fundamental class and always looking at what's new out there. Sets ground rules we need for next level Mastery of APIs and MCP and now I have full confidence for what's next Thank you Emmanuel for holding my hand and teaching me to walk properly again so I can run later.
