2011
I started giving talks this year. Topics were weird stuff in Scala’s type systems. In hindsight, I thought the talks were pretty bad, but the organizers let me speak again, so thanks for that!
- March: Mathema Campus, Erlangen, Germany
- September: Herbstcampus, Nuremberg, Germany
2012
I didn’t give a talk at Scala Days 2012, but in many ways it was a pivotal conference for me. I met countless people from the Scala community. I still remember Erik Osheim explaining specialization to me in a pub near the Barbican (I still know exactly which pub).
- March: Mathema Campus, Erlangen, Germany
- April: Scala Days, London, Germany
- September: Herbstcampus, Nuremberg, Germany
2013
The Northeast Scala Symposium was the conference that really kickstarted my speaking career. It was the first proper talk I gave in English.

- July: Fourth Annual Scala Workshop, co-located with ECOOP, Montpellier, France
- October: scala.io, Paris, France
2014
This year was pretty wild. I had a total of fourteen flights. I was on two academic conferences and gave one keynote at an industrial conference (Scala eXchange). So far, this was the only keynote I ever gave.

2015
2015 was even wilder than 2014. Same amount of flights, but in addition, I spent two months at Viktor Kunčak’s lab at EPFL. I had already visited the year before for a week.

2016
Nominally, I was travelling less this year than 2015, but also, I organized two conferences, so I still had plenty to do. Due to an unlikely coincidence, I visited the lovely Portuguese city of Coimbra for a second time.
