Freelance

A munkahelyeken gyakran úgy tűnik, mintha csodákat várnánk el a frontvonali vezetőktől. Legyenek egyszerre kiváló szakemberek, motiváló vezetők, szenzációs problémamegoldók, és persze emberséges mentorok is. Valójában a (nem létező) szuperképességek helyett inkább világos keretekre, célzott kompetenciákra és gyakorlatorientált támogatásra van szükség. A bevezető workshopunkban ezeket a szükséges kompetenciákat fogjuk kiválogatni, rangsorolni, használható profilba illeszteni - a tavalyi Lean On The Beach konferencián is bevált műhelymunka módszerrel. Aki a kártyákat keveri és osztja (azaz moderálja a munkát): Kőrösi Zoltán, a Leannovation trénere, tanácsadója. A témabeszélgetés után Lean Coffee meetinggel folytatjuk:-) Az esemény látogatása Leannovation Egyesületi tagsággal díjmentes. Részletek, csatlakozás: https://leannovation.hu/leannovation-egyesulet/ Az eseményen kép- és hangfelvétel készül. Várunk minden érdeklődőt!

Ki tervezi a jövőt? Belsős design csapatok vs. ügynökségek az AI korában Az AI gyors ütemben alakítja át a digitális termékek tervezésének és megvalósításának módját, miközben **újraértelmezi az in-house csapatok és az ügynökségek szerepét és határait**. Az esemény a design felelősségek, feladatok és együttműködési modellek változását vizsgálja ebben az átalakuló környezetben. Agenda: **17:15- Előadás: Külsős, belsős, sajtos, tejfölös - a termékfejlesztés örök szerepzavarai és problémái** * **Tárkány-Kovács Balázs - UX Vezető @Ergománia** Az esemény keynote előadása a házon belüli termékfejlesztés mindennapi valóságából indul ki, és azokra a feladatokra fókuszál, amelyek szervezeten belül jellemzően nehezen kezelhetők vagy újra és újra elakadnak. Kitér arra is, hogyan nézhet ki egy **ideális szereposztás a belső csapatok és külső partnerek között**, és miért nem sikerül ezt a gyakorlatban stabilan és következetesen működő modellé formálni. **17:45- Panelbeszélgetés: Ki tervezi a jövőt? Belsős design csapatok vs. ügynökségek az AI korában** * **Dr. Rung András - Alapító, ügyvezető @Ergománia** * **Petheő Ildikó - UX Vezető @Raiffeisen** * **Fonai Imre - Head of Kate Agile Train @K&H** * **Tárkány-Kovács Balázs - UX Vezető @Ergománia** * **Fábián András - Principal Product Designer @Graphisoft** * **Boóc Péter - Owner and Director @Dog & Pony** A panelbeszélgetésben iparági szakértőkkel azt vizsgáljuk meg, hogy hogyan alakítja át az AI a digitális termékek elképzelését, tervezését és leszállítását, miközben alapvető kérdéseket vet fel arról, ki is végzi valójában a design munkát. Ahogy az AI eszközök egyre fejlettebbé válnak, az in-house csapatok új képességekre tesznek szert, míg az ügynökségek újra kell gondolják, hogy milyen értéket képviselnek. A beszélgetés az AI által formált design környezetről, a belső és külső csapatok közötti egyensúly változásáról, valamint arról szól, hogy a ma tervezett interfészeknek lesz-e még helyük a jövőben. **18:30- Networking** Kapcsolódj UX vezetőkhöz, designerekhez és innovátorokhoz kötetlen beszélgetés és italok mellett. **Az eseményen való részvétel ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött.

Join SnapSoft and the AWS Serverless community for a night of scaling and security. We’re diving into **multi-agent GenAI** workflows for massive **document generation** on **Bedrock**, paired with a high-stakes look at **enterprise PKI** and the hard lessons learned from intermediate **PCA expiration**. Pizza and beer included! 🍕🍺 **Agenda** 18:00 - Arrival 18:15 - Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS 18:50 - Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration 19:25 - Networking, **Pizza, Drinks** **Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS** This session showcases a real-world GenAI solution built on AWS, where Amazon Bedrock and other AWS managed services power a multi-agent workflow for document ingestion, retrieval, and large-scale automated document generation. One of the key outcomes was the ability to generate multiple hundreds of pages in one go, while maintaining structure, context, and quality across complex documents. We will explore the architectural decisions made, how we would improve it today. Along the way, we highlight key trade-offs, common anti-patterns, and emerging best practices for building scalable, future-proof GenAI solutions. **Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration** PKI is the silent engine of enterprise trust, but its complexity often stays hidden until something goes wrong. This session provides a practical overview of enterprise-scale PKI architecture before deconstructing a real-world crisis: an almost expired intermediate signing PCA. We’ll explore the cascading technical fallout across the infrastructure and share battle-tested strategies for maintaining crypto-agility. Join us to learn how to manage these critical lifecycles before the "silent" failures start. **SPEAKERS** **Patrick Nanys** Patrick is an ML Engineer focused on taking AI systems from idea to production. His background spans large-scale NLP infrastructure, LLM applications, agentic workflows, and custom ML systems, both in high-throughput enterprise environments and in client-facing AI projects. **Márton Varga** Márton is a Cloud Engineer at specializing in AWS architectures for large-scale enterprise clients. He has a track record of building complex hybrid networking solutions and robust landing zones using **Terraform and Terragrunt**. With a focus on infrastructure efficiency and security, Márton enjoys deconstructing the "silent" critical systems—like PKI—that keep the enterprise running.

Join us on **May 6th from 17:45** for an evening of hands-on learning, insightful talks, and networking with fellow developers and AI enthusiasts. This time, we’re focusing on how AI is transforming both individual coding workflows and large-scale engineering organizations: 📌 **Topic 1: “AI-Assisted Coding with GitHub Copilot”** Speaker: Liam Hampton, Senior Cloud Advocate, Microsoft & GitHub Join a community-led session exploring how developers can effectively use GitHub Copilot in their day-to-day work. This session will cover practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on approaches to integrating AI into your development process. Whether you’re just getting started or already using Copilot, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques to improve efficiency and code quality. All skill levels are welcome, just bring your laptop and curiosity. **📌 Topic 2: “How Betsson Scales AI** **at Org Level – Not Just per Developer”** Speaker: Kevin Nascimento, Data & AI Adoption Lead, Betsson Group In this session, Kevin shares how Betsson runs AI at real organizational scale. You’ll see how custom instructions move beyond per-repo files into a governed, tiered knowledge base used by 1,000+ developers, with department-specific overlays on top. He’ll walk through Agent Mode with mandatory human gates at every step, deep context engineering with live diagrams of what loads (and what doesn’t), and Plan Mode where planning is formalised and compliance-checked before any code is written. You’ll also see multi-agent compliance workflows in action, plus how teams build custom agents and prompts under centralized governance but with full local flexibility. A practical, inside look at building safe, scalable, enterprise-grade AI workflows. **🎯 Whether you’re a developer, engineer, or simply curious about AI in software development, this event offers valuable insights, practical takeaways, and the chance to connect with like-minded professionals.** **Seats fill up quickly, so secure your spot and join us for an evening of learning, networking, and real-world AI applications.**

**Admin Night ☻** (**May 6th**\, Wednesday 18:30 \| **Location:** Művház Kávézó) **Welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✨** *This is a community for slowing down, disconnecting from our phones and reconnecting with ourselves and others.* Usually, we gather to put our devices away, but this time the **unplugged club will be "plugged"** — so we can connect and support each other in person while tackling our to-do lists! **What is an Admin Night?** It’s a space to finally get around to those things you’ve been procrastinating on. We often carry around **"open loops"** — those unfinished tasks, unread articles, or half-planned projects that sit in the back of our minds, draining our mental energy. Whether it’s clearing your inbox, updating your resume, or finally planning that trip, let's close some loops together in a focused, cozy atmosphere. **〜 Read more about:** [what is an Admin night](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/26/health/admin-night-adults-productivity-trend-wellness) [what is "closing loops"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/open-loops-mental-exhaustion_l_6965121fe4b0ac0d12a380db) "***The Zeigarnik effect*** is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain remembers interrupted or unfinished tasks better than completed ones. (...) it suggests that unfinished tasks create cognitive tension, keeping them active in memory." **〜 What to expect** ◦ Bring your laptop, iPad, phone, or notebook — whatever you need to get your "admin" done. ◦ A dedicated block of time for focused productivity alongside others. ◦ A supportive environment to turn chores into a social, shared experience. ◦ Space to chat, share progress, and have a drink while we work. **〜 Location** Művház Kávézó Budapest, Bartók Béla út 33, 1114 **〜 Schedule** 18:30 – Welcome, grab a drink, and share one thing you want to "cross off" tonight 19:00 – 20:30 – Focused admin time & co-working 20:30 – 21:00 – Closing reflections and informal socializing - optional **〜 Notes** ✧ The event is free, but please support the venue by purchasing a beverage or food. ✧ While devices are allowed for this specific session, we still encourage mindful usage (no scrolling!) and staying present with the group and your tasks. ✧ RSVP on Meetup to ensure we have enough table space for everyone.

💜 Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! 💜 Sziasztok PyLadiek! Ez alkalommal bepillantunk a legintenzívebben fejlődő AI-technológiák világába. Elsőként pár fogalmat és alkalmazási területet nézünk meg, majd pedig csinálunk Pythonban egy saját LLM-et. Felépítjük komponenseinket, és ki is próbáljuk, mire képes egy alaprendszer. A szünet utáni második részben az igényeinket kibővítjük, a rendszerkomponenseket nagyobb tudású elemekkel helyettesítjük, és így építünk fel egy, a gyakorlatban is használható megoldást, egy lokális RAG-rendszert. 👨‍💻 Előadó: Sepp Norbert 🗓️ Programterv Múltkori alkalmakból tanulva, most hosszabb szünetet hagyunk a ket előadás között, hogy legyen időnk beszélgetni és megismerni egymást :) • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:40 Szünet, Networking • 19:40 – 20:35 Előadás II. • 20:35 – 21:00 Záró gondolatok, elköszönés (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) 💻 Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így ajánlott, hogy legyen nálad egy programozásra alkalmas számítógép. A meetup előtt egy héttel részletes telepítési és előkészítési útmutatót küldünk. Ha régebbi vagy kisebb teljesítményű géped van, akkor sincs gond – az első részhez nem lesz szükség komolyabb erőforrásokra. 💜 Kit várunk? Olyan lányokat/nőket, akik érdeklődnek az AI és a Python iránt, és szeretnék megérteni, hogyan működnek a modern nyelvi modellek, illetve kipróbálnák magukat egy saját rendszer építésében. 📍 Helyszín Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra) Cím: 1139 Budapest, Váci út 99 🌍 Nyelv Az esemény nyelve: magyar (és Python) 🤝 Szponzor HCL Technologies Starschema Kft.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
