I enjoy sharing ideas through conference talks and presentations. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at events across the globe, from Laracon US to PHP conferences throughout Europe and Asia.

My talks typically focus on tools I’ve created, testing approaches, and modern PHP development practices. Many include live coding demonstrations to show concepts in action.
