Speaking Engagements
I have spoken at dozens of schools and conferences since 2006. I specialize in speaking about networking, the game industry, and gameplay metrics, though I've covered topics as wide-ranging as level design and philosophy. If you would like to book me to speak, please contact speaking@tinysubversions.com.
