Speaking

Talks, workshops, and engineering conversations.

I enjoy sessions that are practical, opinionated, and grounded in shipped work. The best talks usually sit at the intersection of leadership, architecture, workflow design, and the small technical choices that make teams faster or slower.

Through ReactJS Colombia, published writing, and day-to-day leadership work, I keep coming back to the same themes: better developer experience, clearer technical standards, and systems that help teams ship with more confidence.

12+ years

A decade-plus of shipping across product engineering, architecture, and leadership roles.

Since 2017

Helping co-organize meetups, workshops, and speaker-friendly community events.

6 articles

Public articles on DX, tooling, architecture, and workflow topics that overlap with my talks.

Topics

What I like to speak about.

The strongest sessions for me are the ones that translate hard-won engineering lessons into something teams can use the next day.

Engineering leadership for teams that still ship

How standards, automation, and delivery systems reduce pressure and help teams make better decisions sooner.

Developer experience that compounds

Practical ways to improve tooling, feedback loops, and everyday developer ergonomics without overengineering the process.

Frontend architecture for real teams

Patterns for growing React and TypeScript codebases without turning them into a maze of exceptions and accidental complexity.

Quality systems that fit the workflow

Testing, linting, and CI/CD systems that teams actually keep because they improve confidence instead of slowing work down.

Full-stack delivery with technical range

Choosing the right level of abstraction across frontend, backend, and platform work when products need to move fast.

Community building and first-time speakers

What community work has taught me about mentoring, accessibility, and helping more people feel ready to share what they know.

Formats

Formats that fit teams, communities, and leadership conversations.

Good speaking opportunities do not all look the same. I am comfortable in community rooms, workshops, and internal engineering sessions where the goal is alignment as much as inspiration.

Practical sessions for local communities and engineering groups that want useful takeaways, not slideware.

Hands-on sessions around React, TypeScript, testing, tooling, and workflow design for teams that want to level up together.

Architecture, DX, and delivery talks tailored for product teams, onboarding programs, or internal engineering initiatives.

Good fit for panels, AMAs, and conversations about technical leadership, full-stack execution, and developer culture.

Why it matters

Community work keeps the engineering practice honest.

Speaking is one of the clearest ways I know to turn private engineering lessons into something useful for more people.

Co-organizing ReactJS Colombia has shaped how I think about mentoring, accessibility, and explaining technical tradeoffs without turning them into ego contests. It also keeps me close to the kinds of questions engineers are actually asking in the wild.

Best for React, TypeScript, DX, testing, architecture, and practical workflows teams can adopt quickly.

Strong fit for internal enablement, onboarding, technical standards, release process improvements, and leadership roundtables.
