Stages
From guitarist to speaker stages are fun!
Practical talks, keynotes, hands-on workshops, and podcasts about developer experience, AI agents, and composable architecture. I focus on useful ideas, not buzzwords. I travel when it’s a good fit.

A Vue into rock & roll.
I like weaving live music into the technical story. A riff or a joke that helps the point land is worth more than a perfect slide deck.
