Speaking

[DinneK]

Enhance public speaking skills by engaging in opportunities to present at tech conferences, meetups, or webinars.

First Goal:

• [ ] Create a lightning talk for DenverScripts?

Big Goals:

• [ ] Focus on delivering technical talks that simplify complex concepts for a broader audience.
• [ ] Contribute to technical blogs or documents that showcase expertise and share knowledge with the broader tech community.
• [ ] Improve ability to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders, ensuring that technical decisions are clearly understood and aligned with objectives.

Talk Ideas:

• OSPO pros and cons
• Do we always need a framework?
• Firebase vs. AWS(This is large)
