Talks

In various conferences and meetups I have given talks and presentations on subjects I find interesting. Here is a list of (most of) them with descriptions and links to source material (I like doing live demo's and not just show up with a deck of shiny slides)

Presenting, talking (and sometimes including the occasional rant) is something I enjoy a lot. If you are hosting an event and are interested in inviting me, feel free to contact me on email or on Sessionize

  • Why bother with infrastructure as code?

    Infrastructure as code isn't all about promised velocity. Most often it will be slower in the beginning, but there are also benefits to security, standardization, ability to reproduce and verify etc.
