Straight from the heart
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to participate in various shapes of Public speaking.
From webinars to online and physical conferences, I've seen a fair share and wish to keep track of these wonderful occasions.
Each and every one of them has been about a topic that is dear to me. My goal is to inspire, educate and help projects grow by doing these things.
And the best is yet to come!
Amplifying F#
June 2023 at fsharpConf (Online)
Amplifying F# is a new initiative to encourage hands-on collaboration on open-source F# software! We aim to inspire developers all over the world to chime in and make F# better in the process.
Making a difference in open-source
January 2023 at NDC London (United Kingdom)
Currently, I'm able to improve open-source software in a way where it really matters. In layman's terms, I'm being paid to work on open-source projects and features that directly benefit my customers. In this talk, I want to highlight the importance of giving back to something you take for granted because it is (mostly) free. How it looks like to contribute to and maintain projects in the wild.
Formatting F# code, There and Back Again
December 2021 at NDC Oslo (Norway)
In recent years code formatters have done wonders in many languages. They can help a language by making it easier for newcomers on the "how should it look like". And overall, they can avoid pointless arguments in teams. In a perfect world, a formatter is available with the first release of the language. For F# this wasn't the case. In recent years the Fantomas project is rising to empty that void. And given the state of the language and ecosystem, it can be a tough climb.

Formatting F# Code
May 2020 at JetBrains .NET Days (Online)
If you format F# code in Rider, a tool called Fantomas will be called to process this. Fantomas is open source and I am one of the maintainers of this project. In this session I explained how Fantomas's high-level works, how I got involved in this project, and how it is wired into the FSharp support for Rider.

A Journey into the Compiler and Tooling
September 2019 at FableConf Antwerp (Belgium)
When I wanted to add the capability of compiling F# scripts to Fable, I had to explore the infrastructure of the compiler as well as its JS clients, like fable-loader and fable-splitter. In this talk we will do this journey together to understand how all the pieces fit together so, maybe in the future, you can contribute a new feature to the compiler too.
From F# to JavaScript with Fable
August 2019 @ Webinar for JetBrains (Online)
Fable is an F# to JavaScript compiler powered by Babel, designed to produce readable and standard code. It has an active community and can be used across the entire JavaScript spectrum
Introduction to Fable
2018 @ Techorama (Belgium) (Partner Stage)
My first taste of giving a talk at conference. In this short lighting talk I've talked about Fable, the F# to JavaScript compiler.
