Talks & workshops

Conference sessions, webinars, workshops, and community talks.

I like teaching through systems I have actually built. My sessions tend to combine a working implementation, the evaluation loop around it, and the mistakes that shaped the final approach. My longer-form courses are documented on the Work page.

Community

I was a Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning from 2022 to 2025. I have also taught through GDG communities, Kaggle, W&B events, and local ML groups. This page is a curated record rather than a complete calendar; I will keep adding older sessions as recordings and event pages resurface.

For a session, workshop, or collaboration, the best way to reach me is LinkedIn.
