Twenty years of finding the story inside the technology.

I've spent twenty years helping people understand technology. First by explaining it myself, and then by helping others do it far better than I ever could.

I started as a Developer Advocate at Microsoft, speaking at hundreds of developer events and giving live demos in Microsoft's developer keynotes, including Steve Ballmer's. I went on to become Director of Developer Relations at Oracle, then returned to advocacy at AWS, speaking regularly at both and picking up over 300 talks around the world along the way. My laptop has seen some airports.

Five years ago I moved behind the curtain as a Principal Keynote Lead, and for the past year I've been the Lead Content Producer in the Office of the CTO at Amazon, leading Dr. Werner Vogels' re:Invent keynotes, writing the films that open them, and contributing to and advising on the documentary series that runs beyond the stage.

The work is always the same underneath: find the story inside the technology, then build the moment where an audience actually feels it.
