My talks are open to all experience levels, and all job roles, but they're especially useful if you think you've already got everything covered.
Book me
- Remote or in-person. Talks range from 10-30 minutes - plus additional time for Q&A.
- Yorkshire-based but I'll travel if the event feels right and the location is do-able. And if there's good pizza/burgers and a captive audience.
Tech setup
- If it's under bright lights, please let me know so I can wear shorts.
- I run it from Keynote on my MacBook. USB-C works best.
- If you need me to bring extra cables or stuff, please let me know!
