As a Developer Advocate, I'm passionate about distilling complex technical concepts into clear, accessible presentations. My talks focus on practical skills developers can use immediately—whether working with MongoDB, building APIs, or exploring emerging technologies. Here are some of the conferences and meetups where I've shared these topics:

• API Insights demo. Cisco Live. Las Vegas, Nevada. June, 2022
• MongoDB & NodeJS. Seattle Code Camp. Seattle, Washington. September, 2018.
• MongoDB & NodeJS: Zero to Hero in 80 Minutes. MongoDB World 2018. New York, New York. June, 2018
