Speaking & workshops

I speak about AI agents, evaluation, cloud and data architecture, and the practical work behind useful AI systems. My examples come from customer work and from products I build myself.

What to expect

Sessions grounded in implementation, with examples from cloud architecture, data platforms, machine learning, and my own products and benchmarks. I make the trade-offs visible and leave people with something they can use.

A good fit for conferences looking for practical AI talks, teams evaluating Azure AI or agentic systems, and workshops that help groups move from exploration into implementation.
