Presentations

Selected Presentations at Conferences 

With over 2 decades in the technology landscape, I have seen the industry evolve from the early days of the web to the massive scale of modern cloud infrastructure. My speaking portfolio reflects this journey: beginning with academic papers at Stanford and world tours with Sun Microsystems, and maturing into high-stakes executive briefings and investor pitches. I am passionate about sharing technical vision, default-to-action mindsets, and the strategies required to build reliable, global-scale systems
