Talks

Sharing my passion for technology is something that brings me joy. With my background as a lecturer ICT at a Technical University I like to approach things from an educational point of view.

The past few years I have spoken at various local user group meetups and international conferences. Topics involved range from good ol’ Git to upcoming features for JavaScript, or even my love for a good map.

As part of my job as a Chrome Developer Relations Engineer at Google, my talks nowadays focus on CSS, specifically its new and upcoming capabilities.
