PUBLIC Speaking
Community engagement and curiosity have greatly empowered me as a technologist.
I love exploration. It’s led me to develop a knack for deconstructing complex topics. My contributions to the video game industry are a direct result of me being in a unique position to educate and inform others on trends and issues that will effect our future.
Being energetic and curious define my public speaking style. My talks make challenging subjects accessible by focusing on the technical content rather than the acronyms and buzz words surrounding a topic.
