Speaking

I am happy to speak on a range of subjects and at events from small meet-ups to large conferences. I talk based on experience and have a practical and common-sense approach based on years of working on the web myself and dealing with the same challenges attendees will be facing.

On this site are details of presentations I have given in the past along with information on the subjects I am excited to talk about right now. Get in touch if you would like me to speak at your event.

Writing

I have written a lot of books and articles over the last 10 years. I approach writing in the same manner as speaking, with a practical approach based on my own experience. Contact me if you would be interested in commissioning me for a one-off article on ongoing work for your publication.
