i am focused on enriching the technical conversation
My talks are often about topics that I am passionate about: project management, getting new developers into the community, and breaking down the barriers to entry for underrepresented groups in technology. I want to inform and empower more people to get involved in these arenas. Interested in having me talk at your conference? Get in touch.
