Very excited to announce I’ll be speaking at Agile on the Beach in July next year. AOTB has been a conference I’ve admired for a long time, and I am honored to finally attend and as well, talk about a subject that is close to my heart and have never spoken about in public before: ethics in technology.

Hope to see you there!

When the Whistle Blows: An Ethics Experience Report

Juvenal said “Honesty is praised and starves”, and nothing could be more true when it comes to whistle blowing.

Reporting unethical behavior is an incredibly stressful experience that is seldom ever rewarded and often comes with adverse personal consequences. Over the course of my 20+ year career in enterprise tech, I’ve been involved either directly or as a manager with multiple whistle blowing incidents as the result of organizational ethics complaints.

Through this talk I will present experience reports on of some of the most serious cases I’ve been party to including the process, lessons learned, and what I would do differently. So join me as I share the most challenging events that nearly broke me, but were always career defining moments of my life.
