Open source across the Sanic ecosystem and beyond

I maintain the Sanic web framework as a Core Maintainer and Steering Council Chair, and ship a handful of related libraries and experiments in Python, Go, and Rust.

What I've Said

Keynotes, conference talks, and podcast guest appearances

I've keynoted and spoken at Python and engineering conferences across the globe — PyCon IL, EuroPython, PyWebConf, PyGeekle, and others — and joined a handful of podcasts along the way. Talks usually center on async Python, scalable APIs, data platform architecture, and the developer experience of building and maintaining open source.

If you're organizing a conference, podcast, or internal tech talk and think I'd be a good fit, get in touch.
