Speaking

In 2017, I decided to start applying to speak at technoloyg and programming conferences. I started by practicing some talks at meetups and local bootcamps, and slowly started getting accepted to give talks at conferences around the country.

While I don't do a ton of it, I will probably continue to try to give 2-5 conference talks per year going forward. Here are some of the talks I've given recently as well as some that I'm currently working on or planning to give.

• Mocking & Docking: Advanced Testing Strategies with Docker
• Explore vs. Exploit: When to Lean on Trusted Tech and When to Seek Something New
