Beyond work

Curiosity has never stayed in my job description.

I grew up around artists, started sharing Photoshop tutorials at 12, and kept finding new things to make. Some became products. Others brought people together.

Bringing people together

I learned to build teams by giving people something worth showing up for.

Sharing what I learn by building

I speak about practical engineering, automation, and the decisions behind building products. My experience combines hands-on development with technical leadership across product teams and client projects.

Topics I can speak about

These are proposed topics for future invitations, not a list of talks already delivered.

Browser automation beyond testing

For engineering teams interested in using browser automation more broadly. The focus is on recognizing useful opportunities and choosing an approach that fits the task.

AI in everyday engineering work

For engineers and technical leaders exploring how to incorporate AI tools into development. The focus is on practical workflows, evaluating output, and maintaining engineering judgment.

Connecting product, design, and engineering

For product teams and business audiences interested in how technical decisions shape delivery. The focus is on understanding requirements, discussing trade-offs, and helping different disciplines work together.
