AI for Non-Techies: Praxisnaher Einstieg
Tue, May 12, 4:00 PMKI ausprobieren, ohne vorher Informatik studiert zu haben — das ist die Idee hinter diesem Abend. Vorkenntnisse brauchst du keine. Neugier reicht. Kein Folienvortrag, kein Buzzword-Bingo. Stattdessen ein kurzer Input, dann gemeinsam ran: Tools ausprobieren, Fragen stellen, mit erfahrenen Entwicklern direkt an deinen eigenen Use Cases arbeiten. **Der Abend:** — Ankommen & erstes Networking — Impulsvortrag (20–30 Min.) — Hands\-on Workshop in kleinen Gruppen \| selber ausprobieren — Geführtes Networking zum Abschluss **Du nimmst mit:** — besseres Verständnis für GenAI — Eine konkrete Idee, wo KI dir in deinem Arbeitsalltag Zeit spart — Weniger Berührungsangst + mehr Klarheit, was dein nächster Schritt ist Event for free. Max. 15 Teilnehmende. Verpflegung inklusive. Im berliner Büro nahe U-Bahnhof Heinrich-Heine-Straße. **Über uns:** Wir sind Teclead Ventures. Nicht mehr ganz ein StartUp aber jung geblieben :D Seit 8 Jahren in der Softwareentwicklung und IT-Beratung unterwegs .

GenAI transforming Engineering [IN-PERSON!]
Tue, Apr 28, 4:00 PMMeet us for in-person talks at Zalando on April 28, 2026! Join us for an evening exploring how GenAI is transforming modern engineering — from low-code feature engineering and research workflows to agent-driven optimization and production ML systems. Please make sure you register with your full name, as it will be checked by security on arrival. *** 📅 **Date and Time:** Tuesday, April 28, 2026 Doors open: 17:30 Talks start: 18:00 Panel discussion: 19:20 Networking & pizza: 20:00 *** 📍 **Location:** Zalando Office BHW Warschauer S-Bahn, Auditorium Cinema *** 📝 **Agenda:** **17:30 – Doors Open** Welcome, pizza, and networking **18:00 – Research Harness Engineering for Model Development** Florian Hönicke — Elastic Every programmer is now a manager of coding agents — but human oversight quickly becomes the bottleneck. Florian will share how Elastic built an agentic research harness to support their v5-omni model development, enabling structured experimentation and faster iteration cycles in applied AI research, and why building your own harness is the key unlock for teams serious about scaling agentic workflows. *** **18:20 – Low-Code Feature Engineering in Zalando with Agentic Support** Ola Wahab — Zalando Feature engineering at scale has traditionally been a high-friction process — days of infra setup, complex tooling coordination, and lots of boilerplate. Ola will walk through how Zalando is shifting to a low-code, configuration-driven approach where teams define pipelines declaratively, and how agentic coding has compressed the journey from feature discovery to production from weeks to days. *** **18:40 – Ranking Logic Migration from Monolith — Using Code Agents for Iterative Performance Benchmarking** Ivan Potapov — Zalando How Zalando’s Search and Browse Discovery team extracted a latency-critical ranking service from a monolith and validated it for production. This talk covers: * Migrating the ranking read path into a standalone Ranking API * Using AI-powered agentic loops with async-profiler to close the p99 latency gap * Practical lessons on allocation profiling, virtual threads, and production validation Format: 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A *** **19:00 – Coding Agents for ML Pipelines & AI Systems (Hopsworks + Claude Code)** Jim Dowling — Hopsworks Coding agents are rapidly reshaping software and ML engineering. This talk explores how prompt-driven development is changing how we build ML systems. We’ll cover: * ML problem decomposition and architecture optimization in an agent-driven world * Data-driven experimentation workflows * Building faster and higher-quality systems with Claude Code * Why building on top of AI infrastructure boosts productivity Based on Jim’s O’Reilly book: *Building AI Systems with a Feature Store* Format: 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A *** **19:20 – Panel Discussion** **Product Mindset in Engineering — The Evolution of the AI Engineer Role** Jim Dowling — CEO, Hopsworks Leela Sharma — Director of Engineering, Zalando Florian Hönicke — Principal AI Engineer, Elastic Alexey Grigorev — Founder, DataTalks.Club A discussion on how GenAI is reshaping engineering roles, expectations, and the shift toward product-oriented thinking. *** **20:00 – Pizza, Drinks & Networking** Wrap up the evening with food, drinks, and conversations with fellow engineers and speakers. *** Invite your friends and join us for an evening of learning and networking!
