Talks & Presentations

A small selection of public talks and briefings on systemic risk, time-based failures, and long-lived infrastructure challenges.

These are provided as context for how I approach complex technical and governance problems.

If you’re here from the Field Notes newsletter: welcome. Field Notes will occasionally reference these talks, but focuses on durable models, practical heuristics, and emerging signals.

If something here prompted a question, please get in touch. I read everything; replies are best-effort.
