Work

50+ Countries. 7 Continents. 300+ Presentations.

I've been speaking at conferences since the late '90s. I'm an introvert who happens to be good at standing in front of large rooms and explaining things. Oracle kept sending me places. I kept going.

Flagship Workshop

AI: Art of the Possible

A one-to-two-day workshop that puts your leadership team in one room to decide what AI actually means for your business. We start with what AI does today, pressure-test it against your competition, and finish with a plan everyone signs off on.

Not everything I build is enterprise software.

Only Recipes

My first Chrome extension. It strips recipe pages down to just the ingredients and steps, then lets you check things off, scale the servings, and switch units while you cook. Free, and it runs entirely on your own computer.
