Talks & Presentations

I presented at the AIAM (AI Automation and Marketing) meetup on OpenClaw, the open-source agentic AI framework that's redefining how builders work with AI. Drawing from my experience as an engineering leader and AI consultant, I walked through how I went from skeptical observer to running autonomous agents that work while I sleep. I covered the setup, security best practices for keeping your data isolated, and the core concepts: cron jobs, heartbeat, and skills. The talk included a live demo of my agent, Clank, in action.

I presented at Austin's Marketing Automation and AI Meetup, where I highlighted the capabilities of Claude Code and Cursor and how to use them to go from zero to one with an idea, creating and iterating on a web-app in less than an hour. Taking my experience in building software, as well as creating startups, I highlighted best practices for creating an MVP and maximizing your use of AI to create a product that is both functional and scalable.
