Microphone Optional

I enjoy speaking, despite being a massive introvert. After over 20 years of building, I remember every time I sat in the audience and had my perceptions of technology challenged. I love that feeling, and I love giving that joy to others.

As a note, I have a policy of joining a conference as a speaker only when there is a commitment to diversity.
