Talks that help engineers
do their best work.
I speak on the technical and human sides of software engineering — from modernizing legacy systems to adopting AI tools, improving accessibility, and building careers that last.
In every talk, my goal is to give developers clear, actionable strategies they can take back to their teams. Whether we're diving into refactoring patterns for large Go codebases, exploring how AI agents can help manage tech debt, or breaking down accessibility into simple practices developers can apply right away, I focus on what's practical and useful for engineers doing the work.
I've spoken at conferences like GopherCon EU, CascadiaJS, Epic Web Conf, Boise Code Camp, GitHub Universe, and Microsoft Ignite, and regularly deliver keynotes, breakout sessions, and workshops for both developer and leadership audiences.

Current Talks
Break the costly rewrite cycle. Brittany shows how AI agents — including tools like GitHub Copilot — can help continuously modernize codebases, automate tech debt removal, and keep applications current without disruptive full rewrites.
As Go codebases grow, complexity accumulates fast. Brittany shares patterns for safely refactoring Go systems: improving code organization, breaking dependency cycles, evolving error handling, and applying practical techniques for safely modernizing large-scale systems.
Accessibility isn't just for compliance — it's core to great software. Brittany gives developers the tools to identify accessibility barriers, apply WCAG principles in real projects, and adopt practical patterns that improve usability for all users, regardless of device, situation, or ability.
Chrome DevTools is more than a debugger. Brittany takes developers beyond the basics into advanced profiling, performance optimization, and debugging techniques that can radically improve your frontend workflow.
