Developer Advocate

As a frequent speaker at WordCamps around the world, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my experience with the WordPress developer community—from deep dives into Gutenberg extensibility to hands-on workshops for improving editorial workflows.

What sets my sessions apart? I aim to make every talk approachable and practical. I keep things personable, engaging the audience directly with real-world examples, live demos, and plenty of opportunities to connect the dots between theory and code.

Whether it’s a lightning talk or a full-length workshop, I want folks to walk away with something they can use right away.

Here are a few highlights from my speaking engagements:
