Talks, advisory, and technical conversations

Start with the problem.

I enjoy giving practical 30-minute talks that help technical and leadership audiences understand what is changing and what to do next. I also welcome focused advisory work and serious conversations about complex engineering and applied AI problems.

Speaking

A useful 30-minute rundown.

The best talks give people a clear model of what is changing, working examples they can inspect, and a few decisions they can make next. I adapt the material to the audience instead of delivering a generic transformation pitch.

The exact topic can follow what is most useful to the room and what is changing now.

Useful formats

  • A 30-minute company or leadership briefing, with optional Q&A.
  • A conference or community talk grounded in working examples.
  • An applied AI or agent-systems session for technical teams.
  • A practical look at moving from experiment to reliable engineering practice.

A short note with the audience, timing, and question you want the room to understand is enough to begin.

Focused advisory

Help around a real decision.

I occasionally help leadership teams frame an applied AI decision, review the path from prototype to production, or build shared language around a technical shift.

The useful shape is narrow and concrete: a working session, an independent review, or a briefing built around a live technical choice.

Useful engagement shapes

  • An executive or engineering leadership briefing.
  • A focused working session around a live decision.
  • An independent review of an AI initiative or operating approach.
  • A prototype-to-production review grounded in the system at hand.

These conversations are scoped around a specific decision, audience, or session. I don’t sell a prepackaged transformation program.

Technical conversations

Serious problems are worth a conversation.

I’m always glad to hear from people working on complex engineering and applied AI problems. A short note about the problem, the people involved, and why it matters is enough.

The best conversations start with context rather than a polished pitch.

Public evidence

Start with work you can inspect.

The site is the supporting record: published technical judgment, public talks, community work, and systems built in the open.

Bring the problem, not a polished pitch.

A short note with the audience or problem, the people involved, and what a good outcome would change is enough to begin.
