Talks

I’ve given talks at AWS Summits, re:Invent, and Grace Hopper, mostly on cloud architecture, serverless patterns, and the parts of fullstack development nobody puts in the tutorial. These are the recent ones.

AWS Summit LAJune 2026

From Prompt to Production: Building Reliable AI Agents On AWS

18 responses, 5/5 across the board — technicality, content, delivery, and 'learned something new.' 94% room fill. I will think about this one for a long time.

AWS Summit DCJune 2025

Event-Driven Design on AWS: SQS, SNS, and EventBridge in Action

Grace Hopper CelebrationOctober 2024

Demystifying Full Stack Development

Speaking to a room full of women in tech is something I will never take for granted.

AWS Summit TorontoSeptember 2024

Build a Serverless API in Go

AWS re:InventDecember 2022

Let's write a Microservice using AWS Lambda

My first re:Invent talk. I rehearsed it forty-three times. Worth it.
