Public speaking

In the past years I have been an active speaker on issues surrounding internet of things, interaction design & DIY design with the help of open source technologies.
All my presentation slides are on Slideshare and videos of my talks are peppered around the internet. Upcoming speaking schedule is on Lanyrd. If you’d like me to speak at an event, please email me.
