    Speaking

    Talks, workshops, and engineering conversations.

    I enjoy sessions that are practical, opinionated, and grounded in shipped work. The best talks usually sit at the intersection of leadership, architecture, workflow design, and the small technical choices that make teams faster or slower.

    Through ReactJS Colombia, published writing, and day-to-day leadership work, I keep coming back to the same themes: better developer experience, clearer technical standards, and systems that help teams ship with more confidence.

    How to Automate Front End Processes (and Not Die Trying)

    Practical automation patterns for frontend workflows — linting, testing pipelines, commit conventions, and the small systems changes that let teams ship with less daily friction.

    Booking

    Make the invite easy.

    If you are planning an event, the fastest path is a WhatsApp message with a little context. I can tailor sessions for community rooms, team offsites, internal enablement, or leadership conversations.

    Best fit

    Meetups, internal engineering talks, workshops, and leadership roundtables.

    Helpful details

    Audience size, format, date range, and the outcome you want the session to create.

    Response time

    WhatsApp is usually fastest for short intros; LinkedIn is great for async context.

    Topics

    What I like to speak about.

    The strongest sessions for me are the ones that translate hard-won engineering lessons into something teams can use the next day.

    Engineering leadership for teams that still ship

    How standards, automation, and delivery systems reduce pressure and help teams make better decisions sooner.

    Developer experience that compounds

    Practical ways to improve tooling, feedback loops, and everyday developer ergonomics without overengineering the process.

    Frontend architecture for real teams

    Patterns for growing React and TypeScript codebases without turning them into a maze of exceptions and accidental complexity.

    Quality systems that fit the workflow

    Testing, linting, and CI/CD systems that teams actually keep because they improve confidence instead of slowing work down.

    Full-stack delivery with technical range

    Choosing the right level of abstraction across frontend, backend, and platform work when products need to move fast.

    Community building and first-time speakers

    What community work has taught me about mentoring, accessibility, and helping more people feel ready to share what they know.

    Formats

    Formats that fit teams, communities, and leadership conversations.

    Good speaking opportunities do not all look the same. I am comfortable in community rooms, workshops, and internal engineering sessions where the goal is alignment as much as inspiration.

    Meetups and community talks

    Practical sessions for local communities and engineering groups that want useful takeaways, not slideware.

    Workshops and live build sessions

    Hands-on sessions around React, TypeScript, testing, tooling, and workflow design for teams that want to level up together.

    Internal engineering enablement

    Architecture, DX, and delivery talks tailored for product teams, onboarding programs, or internal engineering initiatives.

    Panels, Q&A, and leadership conversations

    Good fit for panels, AMAs, and conversations about technical leadership, full-stack execution, and developer culture.

    Why it matters

    Community work keeps the engineering practice honest.

    Speaking is one of the clearest ways I know to turn private engineering lessons into something useful for more people.

    What that looks like in practice

    Co-organizing ReactJS Colombia has shaped how I think about mentoring, accessibility, and explaining technical tradeoffs without turning them into ego contests. It also keeps me close to the kinds of questions engineers are actually asking in the wild.

    Community sessions

    Best for React, TypeScript, DX, testing, architecture, and practical workflows teams can adopt quickly.

    Team sessions

    Strong fit for internal enablement, onboarding, technical standards, release process improvements, and leadership roundtables.
