Speaking

I started speaking at conferences and user groups in 2012. Over the years I’ve attended a number of awesome events, met some really cool people, and awkwardly messed with PowerPoint in front of several large crowds.

If you’re looking to quickly evaluate my speaking skills, watch Why I Was Wrong About TypeScript, which I presented at GOTO Copenhagen, and which was JavaScript Weekly’s most popular video of 2019.
