I stumbled into public speaking when I attended Singapore Global CFP Diversity Day in March 2019, and subsequently got my first CFP submission accepted a few months later. Since then, I have delivered more than 10 talks at various tech conferences regionally and internationally. As I can get pretty self-conscious when delivering talks in public (especially when talks are now remote), I consider myself a work-in-progress speaker who is constantly learning from the audience.

Upcoming talks

No free conference talks planned for 2022, as I have decided to go on a speaking break to refocus on other pursuits that contribute direct ROI (such as my new role as a Senior Data Engineer). I might consider speaking with an honorarium though, depending on my schedule and values alignment with the event.

In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate it if you could check out my recorded talks in the next section and drop me a hello if you enjoyed and/or have learnt something interesting from any of my talks.
