I really enjoy speaking at meetups and conferences for digital folk as well as hosting workshops.
Talks are typically fast but well-paced, entertaining (hopefully), and generally a little different from the majority of sessions.
A current favorite talk to deliver is MIDI Birds, another adventure in web browser wonderland . . . and more recently in .NET MAUI. Starting with the 500 item bird song data set recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, I take the audience on a multimedia journey that includes a mix of the history of MIDI, a handful of interactive demos, a body-mounted target, plus a rainbow wig.
Get in touch if you’d like me to speak at your event.
