I’m available to speak at conferences and user groups on topics centered around C#, XAML-based UI development (MAUI, WPF, WinUI), unit testing, mobile development, and DevOps.

I’ve spoken at a variety of events, from local user groups to international conferences, and I focus on delivering practical, experience-driven sessions that attendees can apply immediately. If you’re looking for a specific topic within these areas, I’m happy to tailor a talk to fit your audience and event goals.
