Public speaking list

I've been lucky to present to a diverse audience of digital product professionals.

Every day I wake up with the goal of learning something new, solving an interesting problem, and sharing what I know.

Public speaking is a fantastic way to serve a group of people by sharing what I’ve learned. Building computer programs is a great passion of mine, and I enjoy sharing that pursuit with as many folks as I can find.

I’ve presented at 30+ public events and dozens of internal corporate ones. Events include conferences, meetups, workshops, and teaching at university. Some amazing venues have put me on the schedule including Big Design, South by Southwest, DevNexus, and SMU. Giving talks, running workshops, teaching classes, writing articles, and recording screencasts are all well within my background.

Proud to say that I’m a published author. My first book, Responsive Web Design Toolkit: Hammering Websites Into Shape, is available on Amazon now!

Introduction to Generative AI: This transformative technology is having an extraordinarily powerful cultural impact. GenAI exploded onto everyone's radar in 2023 and has no signs of stopping. Audiences of Exec Managers, Product Managers, Marketing, UX, and Sales connect with my concrete analogies, practical examples, and future forecasting to better understand how this solves their problems and reveals new opportunities.

APIs as Products and Developer Experience (DX): APIs have become first-class citizens as companies choose to deliver technology tools. PMs realize their customers are different, they have specific expectations, architects need to listen to their users, and UX designers can help.
