For event organisers
Invite me to speak, mentor, or judge.
Hackathons, bootcamps, college sessions, AI workshops, founder panels. Production voice and agent experience plus an opinionated take on what ships next.
Formats I take
- Hackathons (mentor / judge)
- Bootcamp workshops
- College talks & guest lectures
- Industry panels
- AI workshops
Topics
- Voice AI in production: latency, isolation, the parts demos skip
- Agentic systems and the eval problem nobody wants to solve
- Full-stack AI: shipping LLM products end to end
- Breaking into AI as a developer without faking it
- RAG architecture in practice, beyond the toy demo
- Open-source voice infrastructure with LiveKit
Sample talk abstracts.
Starting points. Happy to tailor to your audience and length.
Why voice AI is going to eat phone calls
A 30-minute keynote on what changes when latency drops below a second. Demos, telephony stack, what hard problems remain (turn-taking, barge-in, evals), and a builder-friendly take on what to build next.
- 20 min keynote
- 45 min talk + Q&A
Agents that actually ship
Common failure modes for agentic systems and the patterns that make them production-grade: tool design, eval harnesses, recovery loops, and observability. Less hand-waving, more hands-on.
- 30 min talk
- 90 min workshop
Breaking into AI engineering
For students and early-career devs. The portfolio that gets calls back, the open-source contributions worth your time, and how to ship a small AI side-project that hiring managers will read in full.
- 45 min college session
- 60 min bootcamp
Logistics.
