Speaking
Talks and workshops where people actually build.
I speak on AI agents, implementation, creative AI, and career leverage in an AI-shifted market. Every session is grounded in systems I run in production, and workshops end with attendees shipping something real.
Most AI talks are demos of someone else's product. These sessions come from a builder running multi-agent systems, an AI agency, and a 435-member community. The audience leaves with moves they can make Monday morning.
Signature Sessions
Three formats, all hands-on.
Build Your First AI Operator: Ship a Working Agent in a Room Full of Builders
Attendees walk in with a laptop and walk out with a working AI agent. Live build, real tools, zero slideware theory. Built for conferences, accelerators, and teams that learn by shipping.
Best for: Builders, founders, technical and semi-technical teams
Stay Valuable: A Real Conversation About AI and Career Leverage in STEM
A sober look at what AI actually changes about careers, what it leaves alone, and how to position yourself while the ladder is moving. Honest answers over hype in both directions.
Best for: Students, early and mid-career professionals, career programs
AI Implementation Training for Teams
Hands-on training for teams that want AI inside their actual work: creative teams, operations, and agentic workflows. Scoped to your stack and your use cases, from startups to enterprise.
Best for: Companies of any size, creative and operations teams
