I dare not claim to be an expert but my kids tell me I’m pretty good at explaining things. Since I spent 10+ years homeschooling them, I consider that precious praise. I learn best by teaching, so please reach out if you’d like me to speak on:
- Demystifying AI & LLMs with an Overview of AI Safety
- Responsibly using AI in Education and Personal Productivity
- Building Chatbots with Retrieval Augmented Generation
- Designing Your Tech Career including Relaunching after a Break
- Preparing Engaging Technical Presentations
