Had a phenomenal time presenting at the Google Developer Group NoCo Dev Fest 2025 (https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-northern-colorado-androidchrome-presents-noco-devfest-2025-csu/) at CSU. I gave a talk on responsible AI usage and example tools from Google's Responsible AI Toolkit. Most importantly, I got a tamagotchi as a raffle prize??? Best conference ever! You can catch up with the talk via my Gamma presentation! (https://gamma.app/docs/The-Gemini-Dilemma-Aligning-the-Two-Sides-of-AI-kncm52vuam1j2v8?mode=doc)

Are you protecting against AI ghosts? Back to back speaking engagements these past couple days! This time, we discussed various principles I strongly feel encourage meaningful AI adoption for the Colorado Customer Success Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/colorado-customer-success-meetup/events/311490168/?_xtd=gqFyqTM4NTAzMTE2OKFwo2FwaQ%253D%253D&from=ref).

Cover image for In prep for my talk
In prep for my talk today for the IEEE on Engineering in the Age of AI, I thought I'd share my thoughts on "human agency" through Gamma. A lot to condense into 5 - 7 minutes haha I'm finding my slides doubling as take-home docs helps a lot with these talks! You can take a look at the slides here (https://gamma.app/embed/We-Need-Humans-to-be-Agentic-not-the-AI-e2tn1ljr3nnc087?mode=doc).

Independence Day Performance Last week, Finland celebrated Independence Day. I was invited to perform at the Citizens’ Celebration (Kansalaisjuhla), where I read two of my poems in front of a live audience. The invitation was based on my writing connected to lived experience in Ukraine as deminer / instructor and real-world events. Performing these texts publicly was a reminder of how poetry can function not only as art, but also as a way to process collective memory, conflict, and resilience. Spoken-word performances are an important part of my work as a writer. They influence how I approach rhythm, voice, and clarity on the page — especially in longer texts and narrative writing.

In October 2024, I performed at Mine Clearance and Poetry, an event organized by a literary and cultural association. The theme brought together two rarely combined worlds. I performed poems shaped by lived experience including work connected to Ukraine ut also few abstract ones. Writing these texts requires balance — carrying the weight of reality without turning it into spectacle. The discussion following the performance confirmed something central to my writing practice: poetry can function as a way to process and communicate difficult realities in a form that remains accessible, grounded, and human. This work reflects how I approach poetry more broadly — as a space where hardness and vulnerability coexist, and where real-world experience informs the text without overpowering it.

Earlier this year, I was invited to perform at the 90th anniversary celebration of a local Reserve Officer Association. For the event, I wrote a new poem specifically for that audience. The writing process was deliberate and careful. The themes: honour, responsibility, and leadership, required precision rather than decoration. I questioned my own perspective and spent time researching, listening, and revising before the poem began to find its voice. The text went through multiple drafts. Only through rewriting, cutting, and restructuring did a clear narrative and tone emerge. The goal was to write something respectful and grounded, without turning it into ceremony. This project reflects how I approach writing in general: understanding context, questioning assumptions, and shaping language until it carries meaning without excess.

Writing Poetry Shaped by War Experience A significant part of my writing is poetry rooted in real-world experience, including work connected to conflict and war. These texts are not written to shock, but to process, observe, and translate lived realities into language. Earlier this year, I applied for funding for a poetry book focused on war-related themes. The application was not successful, but the process itself was an important part of the work: articulating intent, defining scope, and positioning poetry as a serious form of documentation and reflection. Writing poetry about conflict requires precision and restraint. It is about knowing what to say, what to leave unsaid, and how to carry weight without excess. This approach influences all of my writing, across genres and formats.
