Speaking — Kevin Ryan

TALKS &
SESSIONS

Practical talks for engineering leaders on AI-native transformation, spec driven development, and what it actually takes to move teams from assisted coding to autonomous software delivery.

BRING IT TO
YOUR TEAM.

I speak at conferences, company all-hands, engineering off-sites, and leadership sessions — in person or remote. Every talk draws on thirty years of hands-on delivery and the AI-native engineering work I'm doing right now.

Fees depend on format, audience, and context. Get in touch and we'll work it out.
