Current Repertoire

Signature talks

Keynote / Technical Session Agentic Architecture

When NOT to Build an Agent: Lessons from Systems That Didn't Want Autonomy

An architectural rubric grounded in real latency and cost postmortems—separating workflows best served by deterministic state machines from genuine multi-agent autonomy.

Stages: Codemotion Milan (Oct 2026) · AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe, Amsterdam (Sep 2026) · Driving AI Keynote, Copenhagen (May 2026)

Keynote / Technical Deep Dive Agent-Native APIs

Designing APIs & Guardrails for Agentic Systems

Human-oriented APIs fail silently under stochastic tool use. How to design semantic MCP contracts, idempotency boundaries, and per-turn token circuit breakers.

Stages: API Days Paris (Dec 2026) · API Days New York (May 2026)

Keynote / Technical Session LLM Evaluation

Guarding the LLM Galaxy: Evaluating, Red-Teaming & Securing AI Systems

Replacing subjective vibe-checks with automated evaluation harnesses: PAIR LLM Comparator, trajectory assertions, Pass@k reliability, PII redaction, and injection defenses.

Stages: Open Source Summit Europe, Prague (2026) · AI_dev Europe (2025) · Milan0day (2026)

Technical Case Study On-Device AI

Trust at Top Speed: Split-Brain Edge + Cloud AI in Real-Time Systems

Architecture of an AI Racing Coach tested on a live track—pairing sub-15ms on-device Gemini Nano cues and physics safety gates with Cloud Run lap reasoning.

Stages: Google Cloud Next '26 (Las Vegas) · Google Track Day (Thunderhill Raceway)

Keynote / Fireside / Technical Session Data-Centric AI

Sculpting Data for ML & Large-Scale Personalization

Field lessons from billion-request ranking pipelines across Uber, Faire, and Twitter/X—and dataset curation practices from Sculpting Data for ML.
