Google Developer Groups: Cloud Boston [GDG Cloud Boston]

We had an incredible DevFest Boston — and if you missed it, make sure you don’t miss this one.

DevFest in North America is officially kicking off this year’s global DevFest season, bringing builders together to explore what’s next in AI.

The next era of agent building is here: graph engineering.

At DevFest, 80 developers will spend one intense day building long-running, self-evolving multi-agent systems designed to operate across complex, real-world workflows.

You’ll build an autonomous agent team that creates data-driven video campaigns, optimizes live ad bids, and self-patches behind evaluation gates.

No fluff. Just multi-agent orchestration, long-horizon autonomy, self-evolving harnesses, graph-based workflows, and surviving context rot.

80 seats. One day. Bring your laptop and build an agent that keeps going after you stop.

Nima Rezaeian, Assistant Professor

Joe Lust, Cloud Infra Lead

I love mastery. Sometimes it’s mastery of an athletic pursuit, others times it’s understanding of history or scientific principles. Complex systems entertain me. Simple solutions inspire me. Pedagogy lets me give back to others.

Any given weekend you might find me running a half marathon, hiking a remote Norwegian fjord, or drafting a meetup presentation.

On weekdays, I play the cloud infrastructure and security lead at a Boston startup.

Drop me a line if you’re a like minded soul.
