Public Speaking & Outreach

My developer outreach is rooted in a lifelong passion for knowledge-sharing, starting in the early 2000s through my tutorials, books, and community leadership.
This foundation evolved into pioneering Epic Games’ evangelism efforts. I was instrumental in architecting Europe's Unreal Engine adoption—scaling the community from grassroots meetups to representing the engine at the highest levels of government.
