Workshops
Workshops and talks I've delivered on voice agents, agentic systems, LLM engineering, and cloud architecture, with the slides from each session.
14 workshops
A workshop on the full path from an empty Google Cloud project to a running service: picking the right compute product, wiring the build, deploying without downtime, and knowing what broke when something does.
August 20, 2026
A beginner's session on CTF competitions and the cloud security ideas underneath them: how the challenge categories work, the method for attacking one, and the misconfigurations that show up in real accounts as often as they do in contests.
August 20, 2026
A session on the part of competitive programming that isn't algorithms: how to read a problem, how to solve it on paper before you touch the keyboard, and what to practise between contests.
August 6, 2026
A hands-on workshop that carries one app end to end: a Stitch prompt becomes a Figma file, the Figma file becomes Next.js components, and the whole thing ends up deployed with a real database behind it.
August 6, 2026
A technical session on speech-native voice agents: how the pipeline and speech-to-speech architectures differ, where the latency budget actually goes, and why memory is the thing that quietly spends it.
July 30, 2026
A DevFest code lab that builds a real-time tourist guide agent on Google ADK, from protocol choice through custom tools, interruption handling, and what it takes to scale it.
Google DevFest Sri Lanka 2025 · January 14, 2026
A workshop on what agentic AI changes for a telco, built around three worked case studies: end-to-end support resolution, ticket prioritisation, and a voice booking agent for Sri Lanka Railways.
October 12, 2025
A beginner-friendly talk that tells the history of AI as a story about language: from the early dream of intelligent machines, through the attention paper, to agents and where a career in this field starts.
October 12, 2025
A hands-on workshop on function calling with the Gemini API: the basics, worked examples, schema design, and getting structured data back out of a model reliably.
October 12, 2025
A tour of Google's game development stack across the whole lifecycle: dedicated servers on GKE, Firebase as a backend, analytics, Gemini for dynamic content, and the monetisation and release tooling.
October 12, 2025
A technical session on serving LLMs for real: usage patterns, managed services versus self-hosting, vector stores, LLMOps, and running inference on Kubernetes with Kubeflow.
October 12, 2025
A practical session on everything that happens after the build: the Play Console, app store optimisation, and the acquisition, retention, and monetisation decisions that follow a launch.
October 12, 2025
A workshop on the unglamorous half of a Web3 product: listening to the chain reliably, decoupling with Pub/Sub, and picking the database and cluster layout that survive real traffic.
October 12, 2025
An overview of the two halves of Google's agent story: ADK for building agents, and the A2A protocol that lets agents from different frameworks discover each other and collaborate.
