Speaking topics
What I can talk about
Each topic can be a talk, a hands-on workshop, or a guest lecture, and is tailored to your audience. Every one is based on work I actually do.
Engineering in the AI Era
วิศวกรในยุค AI: ทำไมพื้นฐานถึงสำคัญกว่าเดิม
AI can write code now, but someone still has to own what ships. How real teams work with AI coding tools every day: agree on "done" first, make the AI show evidence, keep humans in charge of risky changes, and let AI earn more autonomy step by step.

AI at Work: A Practical Roadmap
AI ในงานประจำวัน สำหรับทุกคนในองค์กร
"AI isn't taking your job. An AI user might." A plain-language session on what today's AI can and can't do, how to ask it well, and what's safe to share. A leadership version covers rolling AI out across a company safely: start with a pilot, set guardrails, then expand team by team.
- For
- HR / L&D programs, all-staff sessions, executives
- Format
- TalkWorkshopLeadership session
- Given at
- Rolled out PDKM's internal AI toolkit to 4 teams and ran a company-wide AI session in 2026
Building Dream Teams
สร้างทีมในฝัน: ทีมที่ทำงานด้วยกันได้ และใส่ใจกัน
Great software comes from teams, not just code. Using a football-team analogy: why tech teams need a coach, how to set clear priorities, estimate honestly, handle incidents without blame, and build a culture where people speak up early.

From Campus to IT
จากมหาวิทยาลัยสู่สายงาน IT ในยุค AI
What working in a real software company looks like, and what to learn now that AI writes code. Covers IT careers beyond coding, how projects really run (requirements, milestones, PM, QA, business), and the skills that still matter.
