\"\ud83d\udc4b\" Howdy, I’m Ahmad Awais<\/a>. Nice to e-meet you.<\/p>\n

You’ll find my Press<\/a> Kit on this page, including my bio, pictures, and links.<\/p>\n

If something excites me, I ship it\u2014openly, iteratively, and fast. Knowledge compounds when it\u2019s shared, so I default to public by design. I’m share-what-you-know kindov a guy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve practically lived on the road for the last five years, and no, I wasn\u2019t hitchhiking. I average 30\u2011plus conferences, meetups, and workshops annually; at this point, my parents joke I\u2019m basically a walking TED Talk. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

More about this on my talks page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’re probably here for my bio\/pics<\/strong>. I am happy that you are interested in me speaking at your event. I have shared presenter terms; please read: So you want me to talk?<\/a><\/strong> I am a professional presenter with extensive experience in delivering 100+ talks. Therefore, I want to make sure that there is no misconception about what I expect and deliver as a speaker.<\/p>\n
