Talks & speaking

Talks, workshops, webinars, and the occasional rabbit-hole shared out loud — 2014 to now. Every deck is public: most live in the talks repo (github.com/dhilipsiva/talks), whose tagline is 'I have no idea what I am talking about'.

Open to talks on Rust, symbolic reasoning, WebAssembly, and distributed systems — get in touch.
