Speaking

I'm a web performance evangelist & keynote speaker. If you want me to speak, please check out my speaker info page.

"Tobias is one of the best presenters I've ever seen."
– Andrew Heifetz, Manager Technical Education and Enablement Team at Akamai

Please note that due to the political situation in the USA, I do not accept speaking engagements there at this time. I also prefer local conferences & meetups over events that require air travel.
