Workshops for Colleges & Coding Clubs
I enjoy running hands-on sessions for students - from first-year introductions to deeper dives for final-year projects and coding clubs. These aren't vendor pitches or generic slides. They're grounded in real production experience and built to spark genuine curiosity.
Duration
45 min to half-day depending on depth. Most sessions run 60–90 min.
Audience size
Works for 20 to 200+ - demos are interactive regardless of room size.
Who it's for
First-year intros to final-year deep dives. I adjust the depth to the room.
Format
Talk + live demo, or hands-on lab. Let me know what works for your setup.
$ ls ./workshop-topics
Pick one or mix and match. I can also tailor a session around your curriculum.
Containers & Kubernetes
From zero to running your first container - how Docker works under the hood, what Kubernetes solves, and why the industry moved this way. Includes live demos with real manifests.
Linux Namespaces & Internals
The kernel primitives that make containers possible - namespaces, cgroups, and the illusion of isolation. For students who want to understand how it works, not just how to use it.
Kafka & Event-Driven Architectures
What Kafka is, why it exists, and how real-world systems use it at scale. Hands-on with producers, consumers, and topics. No prior distributed systems experience needed.
Observability: Prometheus, Grafana & Beyond
How production systems stay healthy - metrics, dashboards, alerts, and what to do when things go wrong at 2 AM. Includes a live Grafana demo.
Platform Engineering & Internal Developer Platforms
The emerging discipline between infra and product - what an IDP is, why companies build them, and how it shapes your career as a DevOps or backend engineer.
DevOps Culture, SRE & the Seven Deadly Sins
The human and organisational side of shipping software reliably - common pitfalls teams fall into, incident culture, and what separates good engineering teams from great ones.

Want me at your college or coding club?
Reach out with your college name, the topic you have in mind, and a rough audience size. I'm happy to tailor sessions to your curriculum or club focus - whether it's a 45-minute intro or a half-day hands-on workshop.
