I love open source and I am a strong advocate for open code in government.

Happy to consider invited talks on data linkage, open-source engineering, innovation and analytical platforms.

Previous engagements include Pydata Global, Princeton University, the US Census Bureau and the United Nations Statistical Division. Travel covered is fine.
