Speaker Bio | Press Kit

Howdy, I’m Ahmad Awais. Nice to e-meet you.

You’ll find my Press Kit on this page, including my bio, pictures, and links.

If something excites me, I ship it—openly, iteratively, and fast. Knowledge compounds when it’s shared, so I default to public by design. I’m share-what-you-know kindov a guy.

I’ve practically lived on the road for the last five years, and no, I wasn’t hitchhiking. I average 30‑plus conferences, meetups, and workshops annually; at this point, my parents joke I’m basically a walking TED Talk. 😅

More about this on my talks page.

You’re probably here for my bio/pics. 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? 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.

Feel free to use the following for your events:
