Presentations & Teaching
Somewhere along the line, I learned that I liked to teach people, both in the classroom and as part of my job as a manager/leader/mentor. I also learned that I enjoy public speaking—never saw that one coming, but it’s true.
Conference Presentations & Invited Talks
This is a list in reverse chronological order of the presentations most relevant to my work in technology. That is to say, while I’ve presented on nineteenth-century American authors such as Mary Wilkins Freeman, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and of course my beloved John Muir, those were purely literary presentations with nary a flicker of technology in whatever argument I was making at the time. Anyway, if I used slides during a presentation or workshop, I’ve linked them below.
