Presentations

Along with contributing to publications that support projects I work on, in my role as a product manager I particularly enjoy giving presentations and workshops, where I work to help translate the complex data science projects I work on into understandable stories for a range of audiences, with a goal of helping people buy-in to the work and data products generated.

Below is a selection of presentations I’ve given at various conferences, workshops, and seminars, in reverse chronological order, with links to recordings as available.
