MEL MLOps Community #17 | Robots in Aged Care and AI in Software Delivery
Details
We’re excited to announce our next Melbourne MLOps Community Meetup of the year!
This one is right out of a sci-fi blockbuster. We are going to explore the AI landscape from humanoid robotics in Aged Care, something the team at Andromeda is actively trying to achieve, to the rise of agentic AI as a teammate in Software Delivery. DO NOT miss this chance to see how the world is changing right before your eyes.
🎤 Speakers
We’re thrilled to introduce:
- Jason Chan, Head of Machine Learning at Andromeda. Jason is a jack of all trades in the ML/Software engineering domain. He’s a rare talent who seamlessly pivots from leading elite defense autonomy teams at BAE Systems to architecting enterprise MLOps and teaching Deep Generative Models for Stanford Online. In his talk, Making a Machine Feel Like a Character, and Other Hard Problems at Andromeda Robotics Jason will explain how they are building a companion robot for aged care. A character that a resident is happy to see.
- Farzad Khodadadi, Principal Engineer at Catapult Sports.
Farzad is a seasoned engineer with over 15 years of experience delivering enterprise-scale, cloud-native technology solutions. Specialising in the design and architecture of enterprise IoT platforms, he leads high-performing engineering teams while shaping long-term technical strategy. He will share his wisdom on utilising Agentic AI in Software Delivery in his talk: From Tool to Teammate: Agentic AI in Software Delivery.
Networking
The Melbourne MLOps Community is committed to fostering a space where AI/ML engineers and practitioners can connect, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships.
