Speaking · Talks & workshops
Talking about AI like a human — not a hype deck.
I give talks and run workshops for teams trying to figure out where AI actually fits — honest about what's genuinely useful, plain about what isn't, and grounded in building the real thing rather than selling it.
01
What I talk about
A few themes I come back to — each can be a keynote, a teardown, or a hands-on workshop.
Keynote · 30–45 min
What “using AI at work” really looks like
Past the demos and the doom — the small, ordinary places AI quietly earns its keep, and the work it leaves completely untouched.
Workshop · Half day
Judging a model without fooling yourself
How to evaluate AI honestly — building tests that survive contact with real users instead of rewarding a flattering benchmark.
Talk · 20–40 min
Keeping AI projects small and shippable
Why the AI work that lands stays narrow and well-fenced — and how to tell the clever-but-fragile idea from the boring one that actually ships.

Recent & upcoming
Where I've spoken lately, and where I'll be next.
Thinking about an event?
Conference, internal team day, podcast, or a small workshop — if your people want a clear, hype-free conversation about AI, I'd love to help. Tell me who the audience is and what they're wrestling with, and we'll shape something that's genuinely useful to them.
