Sharing my experiences around software to others at events and conferences is something I very much enjoy. If you would like to engage me in my position as a Google Kotlin Developer Expert or prominent member of the Open Source community to speak at your event/podcast, I would be very happy to discuss it.

Here are some highlights of my previous experiences at conferences and events. You can visit a collection of my recorded talks on my YouTube channel, and some of the decks are available on SpeakerDeck:
