This is the final online meetup as part of our Summer Sessions of VIP talks and we will be joined by Patrick Debois - the man who coined the word 'DevOps'. Patrick will be sharing his knowledge of DevOps, AI, and LLMs with us.

**Agenda:**

**6:00pm - Introductions - [Matt Saunders](https://www.linkedin.com/in/msaunders/)**

**6:15pm - [Patrick Debois](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickdebois/)** **\- LLMs & Gen AI \- Explain it to me like I'm a software engineer**

The emergence of LLMs and generative AI have added new exciting toys to our toolbelt for writing applications. Using code examples from the popular framework Langchain, I'll walk you through the concepts of this new domain and highlight dev & sec.& ops aspects along the way. With this I hope to give a peek under the hood and demystify the magic.

Patrick Debois is a versatile technologist with a breadth of experience across Dev, Sec, and Ops. Known for his aptitude in harnessing emerging ideas, he skillfully guides teams and advises businesses ranging from startups to enterprises in their journey. Recognized as a trusted ally among dev, sec, ops communities, and beyond, he is currently immersing himself in the world of AI & Machine Learning continuously pushing the boundaries of his technical expertise.

While Patrick’s technical appetite is vast, his affinity for people is equally profound. He possesses the rare ability to bridge perspectives, effortlessly switching between management and individual contributor levels and roles. This unique experience has led him organising the first Devopsdays in 2009. He is attributed to coining the term DevOps and co-author of the widely known Devops Handbook. In the past Patrick has worked together with renowned tech organizations such as Atlassian and Snyk. He currently wears both hats of VP of Engineering and Distinguished Engineer at Showpad.

He thrives in sharing knowledge, organizing numerous community events, and presenting at many more. He believes in transforming his learnings into shareable lessons, using this feedback loop to hone his skills and broaden his perspectives. Through open sharing and lateral thinking, Patrick is not just enhancing his professional growth but also contributing significantly to the evolution of the field.
