My speaking style is very conversational, mixed with a bit of humor and some appropriately timed profanity. Feel free to look at some of my previous talks to get a sense of my style and delivery.
Past Talks
Troubleshooting Tiered Tragedy
A talk I gave at GOTO Berlin, discussing an actual database failure and how we used a more robust post-mortem process to improve our future response to trouble.
Brainstorming Failure
An earlier talk I gave at DevOps Days Chicago discussing different methods for defining metrics in your application. The approach is borrowed from the manufacturing industry and thee Failure Mode Effects Analysis approach.
