Topics

As a public speaker I give visionary techy talks about what the future of Component-driven development could mean for Drupal. My topics currently evolve around the following:

• Compony
• Why are Drupal Frontend developers not the best in the world (yet)
• What are the advantages of Component-driven frontend Development.
• Common anti-patterns in a frontend workflow.
• NPM: Why are we selling a result of a developer experience?
• Complexity from abstracting too soon on the frontend
• Does jQuery still have a place on our Drupal-island?
• How could the Frontend in 5 years look like?
• Instead of buying new websites, people will start fixing websites, how can legacy projects become awesome to work on?
• When to decouple my Drupal site?
• How to re-use the frontend of my website?
• Progressive rendering in a Drupal setup
• Frontend performance of Drupal

Let me know what topics are of most interest and I'll compose the talk around that.

Questions

I would love to speak at your conference, so here is a list of things that I will likely ask if you get in to contact with me:

• When and where? The further the better
• How many attendees are you hoping for? Rough estimation is more than enough
• Do you have a CoC? If not, swipe left or ask me to talk about inclusivity and equality.
• Length of the talk? I will talk a whole day if you don't stop me.
• What topic would make you most happy from the above list? Knowing what your audience comprises off would help me finding what would work best for you too.
• Can I use my own laptop for presenting? Currently packing a Macbook Mid 2015 with hdmi
• Do you compensate speakers? Let me know if it is possible to cover travel expenses and a fee, I tend to be soft for non-profit events, and good causes..
• Do you do Workshops? I give workshops too, where I cover how Compony integrates in to your Drupal setup. I usually ask 50% of what you sell me for

What’s in it for you?

I will gladly help promote your event. I will also be available during the entire event to socialise with attendees including social side-events. I guarantee quality, and hold myself to a high standard. If you decide that my talk wasn't worth it, I won't ask for compensation.

You are free to record, livestream my talk and distribute how you see fit.
