Talks

Sharing my passion for technology is something that brings me joy. With my background as a lecturer ICT at a Technical University I like to approach things from an educational point of view.

The past few years I have spoken at various local user group meetups and international conferences. Topics involved range from good ol’ Git to upcoming features for JavaScript, or even my love for a good map.

  • Going Serverless with Google Cloud Run (JSConf.be)
    Back in June I was invited to speak at JSConf.be. This year’s edition focused on DevSecOps and Security.
