**Abstract**

***"From Beats to Bytes: Teaching AI, Music, & Python Coding W. Elastic by @Treeko.mp3"***

We’ll explore:
\- How Elasticsearch can be used to organize and search through large content libraries \(music samples\, project files\, video clips\, code snippets\) for fast retrieval\.
\- Ways Kibana visualizations can track audience engagement and content performance in real time\.
\- The role of AI\-driven insights in shaping creative output\, from deciding which DJ mixes to publish next to optimizing Python course delivery for beginners\.
\- How to bridge technical concepts with creative workflows to reach a global audience\, including Spanish\-speaking learners in Latin America and Spain\.
Whether you’re a developer, educator, or creator, you’ll leave with practical ideas for using Elastic’s tools to bring structure, insight, and scalability to your own projects, technical or creative.

Isaac is a DJ, music producer & Columbia professor born & raised in The Bronx, NYC, teaching 7,000+ students in-person & across his fast-growing community on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & LinkedIn

***"Integrating OpenTelemetry with the Elastic Stack"***

OpenTelemetry’s mission is to enable effective observability with high-quality, portable, and ubiquitous telemetry. The Elastic Stack's native OTEL support now aligns directly with that goal, making it easier and more economical to adopt OTel without vendor-specific agents or SDKs.

This talk reviews how Observability data signals are generated in software systems, the benefits and shortcomings of OpenTelemetry 3rd party integrations, and advancements in grassroots first-party OpenTelemetry instrumentation. We’ll end with a short demo showing how to enable effective observability with OpenTelemetry and the ElasticStack.

Eric Mustin is a Customer Architect at Elastic based in New Jersey. He is an active Open Source contributor, CNCF Member, and the co-maintainer of OpenTelemetry Ruby. He has previously worked on Observability and Engineering teams at Shopify, Datadog, UBS, and Primary.com, and in his free time, he likes to make soup.
