Speaking
I have spoken at large venues - from a keynote at the O’Reilly AI Superstream, to University of Toronto, Ubisoft, and more.
The main topics I focus on are machine learning, data science, productivity, game development, and tech careers. I’d like to help your audience level up in their careers.
Please contact me at speaking [at] susanshu.com if you’d like to schedule a talk and discuss logistics and pricing.
