background
I'm a professionally-trained public speaker, comfortable in front of crowds of a few thousand. I've felt it important to spend more time sharing knowledge with others. Part of that endeavour will include speaking engagements as I have time, ability and opportunity. I'll link my presentations on this page along with any accompanying open source projects used in demos.
- I joined Stream as Developer Relations Lead and Growth Hacker in August 2016, focusing on building community and developer relationships.
- I was not an official "developer evangelist" by job title of SendGrid, Inc between 2011 and 2015, but always enjoyed sharing about SendGrid and its technologies.
