Speaking

I love speaking in public conferences, meetups and other forums where I have an opportunity to share my experience with curious minds.  At a broad level, I enjoy speaking on the following topics.

  • Business Agility
  • DevOps and Cloud transformation
  • Technical leadership
  • Modern enterprise architecture (microservices, serverless computing etc.)

If you like me to speak at your next event, do drop me a note here.  I will be glad to have a discussion.

Here are some of my past speaking engagements.

Clariden Global DevOps 2018 Conference (Singapore)

In the DevOps 2018 conference organized by Clariden Global, I chose to talk on – How DevOps can bridge the gap between IT teams, business users and customers.  You can find my entire presentation here.

Here are the key tips for a successful DevOps transformation.

  • Frequent and constructive demonstrations
  • Validate ideas, quickly and cheaply
  • Data analysis must be a “before” thought
  • Celebrate failures with learning

IDC Business Innovation Forum 2018 (Singapore)

In the Business Innovation forum organized by IDC, I shared my thought on implementing DevOps in a Hybrid cloud environment.  You can find my entire presentation here.

I summarized the key points with an acronym – SCoViTZ

  • S – Script everything
  • Co – Containers are your friends
  • Vi – Virtualize the bottlenecks
  • T – Test Automation First
  • Z – Zero lead-time to start development
