Speaking Archives

Over the years, I've had the privilege of sharing knowledge and insights at some of the most prestigious tech conferences around the globe. From SpringOne and VMware Explore to JavaOne and various Java User Groups, I've engaged with diverse audiences across North America, Europe, and beyond.

Specializing in Spring Framework, Java, and modern web development, my talks have reached thousands of developers, contributing to the growth and evolution of our developer community. I'm passionate about sharing practical insights and fostering meaningful technical discussions.
