Conference Talks
Conferences have become a special place for me.
I could never afford to go and many companies don’t prioritize these types of growth opportunities because of the high cost associated with most events.
Being able to speak at conference has let me share my take on various topics in the tech industry. I’m a believer that most issues come from the human side of tech, even when it’s coming from AI, so I tend to talk a lot about processes, system thinking, and teamwork.
