Let's put AI
on stage.

If you're looking for a speaker with hands-on experience and a practical, critical view on AI — not another hype reel — let's talk. I bring twenty years of software-quality thinking, live demos, and claymation scenes your audience will still remember next quarter.

The Promise. Context: What your audience gets

Shows, not tells.

Hands-on, not hype

Everything I show, I actually use — from prompt frameworks to agent skills running in real testing pipelines. Live demos over screenshots.

Scenes people remember

Abstract AI concepts become claymation moments from daily life: the face unlock, the re-route, the NPC. Sticky beats technical-correct-but-forgettable.

A tester's eye

Twenty-plus years of quality engineering means I demo the failure modes too — where AI breaks, why it matters, and how to keep humans in the loop.
