Speaking

I’m available for speaking engagements on various software and career topics. All slide decks and demo code are available on GitHub. Some talks I’ve delivered:

Time to Find Your Calling

Slalom Speaks - September 2016 - Seattle University, WA

On a recent vacation, I met Paul, a self reliant, local winemaker. At 91 years old, he does things “his way”. I found his passion for excellence inspiring! I cover his embrace of authenticity through my tasting experience, his winery tour, and his stories about his life.

Hybrid Mobile Apps with PhoneGap Build & KendoUI

That Conference - August 2014 - Wisconsin Dells, WI

I discuss how to create cross platform hybrid mobile apps using PhoneGap Build and KendoUI. I leverage my experience building Fitwatchr (30,000+ paying users!) to demonstrate the hybrid approach, performance considerations, and a live demo.

Creating a Top 5 Health/Fitness App with PhoneGap Build

Adobe App Design Course - June 2014 - Webinar

I was invited by the Adobe Marketing team to present to an Adobe Education Exchange class focused on app design using PhoneGap Build and Brackets. I demonstrated how I used tools such as PG Build to create Fitwatchr and also gave some general advice for beginners.
