Speaking.
I talk publicly about agentic developer platforms, MCP, evaluation discipline, and the agentic SDLC. Open to guest spots, CFP collaborations, and internal engineering talks.

Podcasts
Open to guest appearances. Recent threads I've been thinking about and would happily ruin a recording over:
- Why most AI adoption is blocked on evaluation discipline, not training or culture
- Tool choice (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) matters less than platform strategy
- The shift from MCP servers to skills, and what each is actually good for
- Portable toolkits and escaping AI ecosystem lock-in
- What changes when an agent is a first-class user of your platform
- Reading evals like a senior engineer reads tests
Conferences
Open to CFP collaborations and conference talks, technical or strategic stages. Happy to co-submit with program chairs or partner orgs.
Internal talks & workshops
Available for engineering org talks on agentic tooling adoption, evaluation discipline, and developer platform strategy. Format ranges from a 30-minute keynote at an internal eng all-hands to a half-day workshop with your platform team.
