Webinars

Join us for a 30-minute **ONLINE Zoom** session ([Zoom link](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82483940620?pwd=AKmYOoKbsHH5YMCRUOVVFmY8NCIFZS.1)) to learn how you can make a direct, lasting impact on foster and unhoused youth in Williamson and Travis counties. Our Program Manager will walk through what Learning Bridge does, how our tutoring model works, and why one hour a week can change the entire trajectory of a student’s life from uncertainty to thriving. You’ll hear how volunteers just like you have already helped hundreds of local students raise their grades, rebuild confidence, stay on track for high school graduation, and feel supported by a consistent adult who shows up for them. We’ll cover the weekly commitment, in-person and virtual options, and the real outcomes our students experience when they have someone in their corner. If you want your time to matter and you’re looking for a meaningful way to support your community, this short session will show you exactly how to get started with Learning Bridge. \*ONLINE EVENT\* Monday, 5/4 @12:30pm Join on the [Zoom link](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82483940620?pwd=AKmYOoKbsHH5YMCRUOVVFmY8NCIFZS.1) [Learning Bridge](https://learningbridgetx.org/?utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=meetup-apr) matches tutors with foster care and unhoused youth to give them the educational support they need to stay in school, improve academic performance, and achieve greater success later in life.

**This group hike is open and welcoming to newcomers.** **About the hike:** Turkey Creek Trail is a 2.75 loop trail. It is mostly flat with a short climb and descent. This is also an off-leash dog trail, so there are lots of dogs running around. Bring your furry buddy if you'd like! There are some water crossings--depending on how much rain we've had before this hike it could range from dry to rock hoping to wet feet. We'll provide an update closer to the date so you know what to expect. [Map of the route available here.](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/texas/turkey-creek-trail) **Parking:** There is a parking lot at the trailhead with free parking. Overflow parking is available off the road near the parking lot. **Optional post-hike social time:** We typically plan an optional social activity (usually involving food!) after the hike. Join us after at [Ski Shores Cafe](https://skishorescafe.com/), a 1.4 mile drive from the trailhead (dog-friendly--in case you have yours with you!) **About Her Adventure:** We are Bobbie and Katy--two friends who have enjoyed spending time hiking and backpacking. We noticed that when we are in the backcountry, we don't see a whole lot of other women--probably due to a lot of factors (historical lack of representation, marketing, fear drilled into us by friends/family that the woods aren't safe, bro culture, etc). So we started Her Adventure with the goal of helping folks see themselves as hikers, adventurers, and strong ass humans who can haul their bodies up and over mountains. We're here to help cultivate the journey and sense of community. **Questions?** If you have any questions please feel free to message Bobbie or Katy.

We have a great group of people that pass a lot of referrals and help generate business for each other. \*Please note that if your profession is already taken then you will not be able to give your 45 second elevator pitch.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
