SPEAKING
Ideas Worth Hearing Live.
From the main stage at AWS re:Invent to hands-on immersion days — I speak about what I’ve actually built: AI systems in production, data at scale, and leading through transformation.
AWS re:Invent — 3-Time Speaker
Speaking three times at AWS’s flagship global conference in Las Vegas — sharing real-world lessons from large-scale AI and data architecture work with thousands of practitioners.
MSSQLTips Webinars
Live technical webinars for the SQL Server community — deep, practical dives for the practitioners who keep the world’s data running.
100+ Immersion Days with Partners
More than one hundred hands-on immersion day workshops delivered with partners — full-day, practical sessions where teams learn by building, not just listening.
TALK TOPICS
Signature Topics.
Deep-dive talks drawn from real production experience — built for engineers, architects, and technology leaders.

Legacy Database Modernization to Cloud-Native
From on-premises SQL Server and Oracle estates to cloud-native databases — the strategy, the pitfalls, and the playbook.
Custom Models for Performance Tuning
Moving beyond rules of thumb — using custom-built models to tune database performance with data, not guesswork.
Managing Multi-Tenant Database Environments
Isolation, noisy neighbors, and cost control: operating multi-tenant database platforms at scale.
