Talks, Teaching & Media

Conversations, demonstrations and interviews about AI, research and learning. I like explaining things, so most of what I have understood properly ends up here in one form or another.

Why I do it

I believe in access to information. Most of the gap between people is not talent. It is who was handed the knowledge, and who was not.

So I share, and I try not to stop at theory. I want people to leave with something practical they can use on a real problem in their own life, whether that is with AI tools, with AI itself, or just with scientific thinking.

When I get the chance, I show it working live, and I leave something behind: the code, the slides, a kit people can run on their own.
