How I Can Help

Transform your event or energize your team with speaking that combines technical expertise with authentic storytelling. Having gone from high school dropout to pioneering AI systems at CMS, I bring a unique perspective on overcoming challenges, embracing change, and delivering results against all odds.

My presentations blend real-world technical case studies with lessons on resilience, innovation, and problem-solving that resonate with both technical and business audiences. Whether you need a keynote that inspires, a technical deep-dive that educates, or team motivation that energizes, I deliver content that sticks.
