Conference keynote
30–45 min on stage. Energetic, opinionated, and tuned to the conference's theme. Recent: KCD Munich opening keynote, DeveloperWeek Europe keynote.
Keynotes & talks
Weaving technology, leadership, and the challenges ahead into talks your audience will remember and act on.
At the intersection of AI, platform strategy, and modern leadership: how engineering organisations cut through complexity, why platforms quietly decide whether a tech investment pays off, and what IT strategy looks like when AI keeps moving the goalposts.
Formats I do
Technical deep dive
40–60 min for engineering audiences. Heavy on architecture, demos, and what actually breaks in production.
Executive briefing
30–60 min, leadership audience. Where the technology is going, what it costs, what it unlocks, what to start now.
Panel Discussion & Fireside Chats
Panels and on-stage conversations. I bring opinionated takes, realistic expectations, and keep the discussion useful for the audience.
Signature topics
Thought Leadership
AI Engineering
What it really takes to put AI on solid ground in an organisation, beyond demos and pilots, and where leaders should invest first.
Digital sovereignty and the Cloud
Building cloud architectures that meet European sovereignty requirements without sacrificing the developer experience.
Sociotechnological Impact
How technology choices reshape teams, organisations, and society, and the responsibility that comes with shipping at the scale we now do.
Open Source, and Contribution Values
Open source is more than a license. Why contributing back, governance, and community values are now strategic decisions for any organisation building on the commons.
Technology
From IDP to AIDP
How Internal Developer Platforms evolve to host ML/AI workloads, and what teams adopting GenAI in production actually need from their platform.
Platform engineering as a product
Why the platform teams that ship a product (with users, a roadmap, and a value prop) outperform the ones that ship infrastructure.

What you can expect
Tightly-tuned content
I prep with the organisers — talk shape, audience level, and conference arc. No generic deck.
Bilingual on request
I speak English and German fluently. Same talk, either language.
Reliable to work with
Materials and bio on time, on stage on time, easy to coordinate with.
