A small number of engagements, chosen with care.
I keep a demanding full-time leadership role, and I like it that way — it means everything I share is current, hard-won, and tested at scale. It also means I take on only a handful of speaking, advising, and coaching engagements each year. If we work together, it’s because I believe I can make a genuine difference.
Talks that move rooms of technologists.
Keynotes, fireside chats, and workshops on engineering leadership, scaling teams, mentorship, and building at the frontier of AI and infrastructure.
Ideal for conferences, engineering all-hands, leadership offsites, and executive summits that want a speaker who has actually led organizations of 100+ engineers — not just studied them.
