I speak about software engineering
One of my passions is to give keynotes and public talks.
I talk about topics such as code reviews, software testing and analyzing software systems.
Here you find a list of selected events I spoke at.
Keynotes
Code Reviews, Code Quality and Testing
I frequently talk about code reviews.
Here are a few presentations I gave on this topic:
From Bottleneck to Superpower – ACM Tech Talk watched live by several thousand people.

At Developer Productivity Conference from Manning
On Software Engineering Radio
Secrets to high-quaity code
Detroit tech watch - Code Reviews from Bottleneck to Superpower
Developer Experience and Productivity
Based on the study on developer experience that was published in the top-tier journal Transaction of Software Engineering, I talk about what improves the experiences and with it the productivity and happiness of developers.
On to Code Reviews – Lessons Learned at
Microsoft
I gave this keynote at the International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology in Portugal, Lisbon, 2016
Data driven software engineering – Can we change what we can measure?
I gave this keynote at the International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology in Portugal, Giumares, 2014.
Technical Talks
Code Reviews
Code Review Best Practices
I gave several technical talks at Microsoft and Microsoft Research about Code Review. Which best practices to use, how code reviews can become do not find bugs, and how to increase productivity and the usefulness and value of the practice.

Reducing Test Execution Times
I have given several public talks at Microsoft Seattle, US and Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK about how to reduce test suites without sacrificing quality. This topic is especially relevant for companies that have large test suites that take a long time to run. Reducing such a test suite (safely) can lead to tremendous reductions in terms of time, and costs.

Test Confessions
At EclipseCon in Santa Clara California (USA), I gave a talk to an audience of ~500 people about how to test plug-in systems.
Runtime Software Testing
How service oriented software systems can be tested at runtime was the topic of the technical talk I gave at the Workshop on Principles of Engineering Service Oriented Systems (PESOS) in CapeTown, SouthAfrica. May 2-8 2010.

Testing at runtime
I talked about testing service oriented systems at the International Conference on Service Oriented Computing in Sweden (Stockholm)., 2009, Publication: Online Testing of Service-Oriented Architectures to detect State-based Faults
How to test service oriented systems was the topic of my talk at the Testing: Academic & Industrial Conference in Windsor, UK, September 2009
