**Finding Your Meme Twin with Embeddings & Vector Databases**
*Do you look like a famous meme? Find out using embeddings and vector databases! I'll show how to convert memes into searchable vectors, store them in databases, and build apps to find your meme twin. We'll cover embeddings (turning images/text into hyper-dimensional arrays), vector databases for storage/search, and live code examples using real memes from Ancient Aliens Guy to Zombie Boy.*

He ran the JavaScript meetup in Central Ohio for over 10 years, has serves on conference committees, and has even taught programming at a prison.

Guy is a proud father of three sons—all grown now—and lives in Ohio with his wife of 30 years.*
