Geshan Public Speaking

Here is a timeline of most of my public speaking for tech conferences and meetups. All my talks are in English.

I am open to speaking offers, mainly in Sydney, Australia. The best way to reach me is by email, thanks!.

Inspired by other public-speaking repos like these ones.

He is actively involved with the developer community and is a Google Developer Expert (GDE) for the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). He is a Docker Captain and an AWS Community Builder, too.
