AI Meetup #1 - Builders Foundry London

For people who build software. We focus on AI, design, engineering, cloud, and startups without the hype.
No vendor pitches or buzzwords. Just real architectures, production lessons, and honest trade-offs. For engineers, architects, platform teams, and technical founders.
Join us for two practical talks and a roundtable & pizza.🍕

🤖 1. Using GenAI to Re-Imagine City Development
Damian Bemben - Senior Software Engineer @ AdaMode
"Urban redevelopment is constrained by cost and slow iteration. This session explores using GenAI and image-to-3D to generate and test concepts in seconds, giving more people a voice in planning. Covers practical model integration and where these tools actually deliver value beyond “AI slop"

🤖 2. Deploying Deep Learning in Real Healthcare Constraints
David Agbolade - Senior Data Scientist, | AI Researcher | SheerFit Founder
"A system for automated radiology reports, built for environments with 1 radiologist per 1 million people. The model worked in the lab. Deployment exposed the real problems: data scarcity, bias, low budgets, and lack of trust.
Real trade-offs: shipping a prototype over a “proper” app, choosing speed over marginal accuracy, and training on imperfect data because perfect data never arrives.

🤖 3. Round table
Tom Winstanley - CTO and Head of New Ventures in UK&I

Open discussion on shipping AI systems under real world constraints.
Questions. Trade offs. What we would do differently.
