Talks

Talks

Systems, observability, and security. Research talks, seminars, guest lectures, and practitioner presentations.

Speaking themes

Topics I can present now

From active projects, published work, and recurring research themes.

Reducing eBPF tracing overhead

Measurement overhead costs, untraced process impact, instrumentation design that preserves usefulness without distorting workloads.

Linux performance investigation

Reasoning about system bottlenecks, designing performance experiments, evidence-based optimization.

Security in operational and embedded contexts

Platform security questions spanning Android, IoT, industrial environments, and the systems constraints that make visibility difficult.

From research idea to working artifact

Ideas into software, measurements, documentation, and workflows usable beyond prototypes.

Formats

Presentation formats

  • Research seminars for systems, security, networking, and performance audiences.
  • Guest lectures on Linux internals, eBPF, benchmarking, and engineering methodology.
  • Practitioner talks that connect low-level systems ideas to practical engineering decisions.
  • Paper walkthroughs that emphasize experiment design, limits, and reproducibility.
