UX Design

April Meetup is here! Let's gooo! We have some amazing speakers, and of course pizza and drinks will be available after the event. ────────── **18:30: Welcome** Grab a drink, and a seat until everybody arrives! **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 Type safety across the network chasm** Speaker: [Alexander Vechi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvechy/), Product Engineer at SkyScanner Type safety often stops at the network boundary. In this talk, Alex will look at how modern frameworks try to bridge that gap, and share lessons from Skyscanner’s setup with protobuf-generated TypeScript types, including versioning, nullability, and validation to make API contracts safer in real frontend code. **19:25** **Building a Workflow Builder From The Ground Up** Speaker: [Martí Serra Molina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAADubmLMBJy_b_UNaB8Za17gbj1sc69JgkcY/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base%3BBKaAifpsSFG5%2BC062yD%2Blw%3D%3D) Frontend Engineer \| Creator of Formity Workflow builders are powerful tools for visually designing and automating complex processes, but building one from scratch in React poses unique challenges. Most teams reach for React Flow to handle node-based diagram rendering, yet there is still significant logic to build on top of it — a node layout algorithm, workflow state modeling, drag-and-drop, undo and redo, and more. In this talk, you will learn how to build a workflow builder from the ground up and the real-world complexities that emerge along the way. **19:50: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

Es una sesión de liberación energética en la que se potencia tu propia Energía Vital. Por eso, uno de los primeros beneficios de la sesión es sentirte en revitalizada, en calma, ligera...A partir de ahí, puedes experimentar mucho más. Es una sesión grupal aunque la experiencia es totalmente personal. Durante la sesión, estás tumbada con los ojos cerrados y escuchando una playlist de música que te lleva a diferentes estados. Mientras tanto, yo voy tocando en diferentes lugares energéticos para ayudarte al proceso de liberación. Es una sesión para regalarte un espacio para sentirte en conexión contigo misma. Mis grupos son pequeños e íntimos para que te sientas sostenida y cuidada en todo momento. Recomendaciones: \- Usar ropa cómoda \- Comer ligero \- Venir con el corazón abierto para sentir cómo se expresa tu propia energía \- Traer antifaz si eres muy sensible a la luz \- Hay esterillas y mantas pero si quieres traer tu propio material está perfecto\. \- Traer tu propia botella de agua Lugar: Espai Entre Vidas.

# ✨ Human Design Embodiment – Introduction Workshop On April 11th, from 10:00–13:00, we gather for an immersive introduction into Human Design — not as a concept to understand, but as a system to experience. Human Design is like an energetic footprint — a map of how you move through life, how you receive and share energy, how you relate, decide, and ultimately express your unique purpose. It weaves together ancient and modern systems such as the chakra system, astrology, and the I Ching — an ancient Chinese wisdom text that reveals archetypal patterns of transformation and change. In this introductory workshop, we open a space to explore: 🫶🏼 The foundations of your Human Design chart 🌿 How your energy moves through your body ✨ The current energetic climate and how it interacts with your unique design 🔥 What it means to live in alignment in everyday life Through guided embodiment practices, gentle exploration, and shared space, we begin to sense what Human Design truly is beyond the mind. This is a space to: • Connect with your body and inner guidance • Begin to read and feel your own energetic map • Understand why Human Design is touching so many lives 💫 Energy Exchange (Donation-based) 15–20€ to join and explore, or 35–40€ recommended for a deeper experience 🪷 Facilitated by Kim — Human Design Analyst, co-founder of Human Design Uni (Germany), trained with international teachers such as Jenna Zoe, André Schinke & Richard Rudd. Her work blends analytical depth with embodiment, shaped by her background in acting therapy. ✨ If you feel a quiet inner “yes,” trust it. With love 🤍 Kim **Location** ​​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/?utm_source=luma)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809 ​​​🔗 [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p3Y4patgzNDUtQo2A?utm_source=luma) ​​**Our Space:** * ​​Is a shoe free zone * ​​Alcohol or drugs are not permitted * ​​We are a vegan space ​​Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/) ​​​We look forward to welcoming you and have fun with you !!! ​​​Samanà Team, Zander and Sabina

Ojalá este grupo se convierta para ti en un pequeño refugio creativo.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized!
