Bring a developer's perspective to your stage.

I'm early in my speaking journey and loving it. I turn 11+ years of production Laravel into talks teams actually remember, at meetups, conferences, panels and podcasts, in the UK, Europe or remotely.

Talks I've given.

A list of all the events that I've been lucky enough to speak at.

  1. At PHP Stoke

    Coding standards as easy as E.C.S

    Tabs or spaces? Line lengths? Teams have argued about coding standards for years. This talk shows how Easy Coding Standard (ECS) settles it: agree the rules once, automate them, and spend code review on what the code does, not how it's formatted.
