Talks

Every talk, workshop, and tutorial I’ve given, newest first. Each year puts talks on the left and workshops and tutorials on the right. All of them live in talks.yml (one entry per talk); recordings with searchable transcripts are coming — each talk will get its own page with video, transcript, and summary.

Jump to a year: 2026 · 2025 · 2024 · 2023 · 2022 · 2021 · 2020 · 2019 · 2018 · 2017 · 2016 · 2015 · 2014
