What we’re about
At OBI we empower people to design their homes creatively and individually. We digitalize the DIY market and develope a comprehensive service ecosystem. Whether in our online store, in the heyOBI app or in the store - we ensure that our customers have the best experience everywhere.
As developers, we see ourselves at OBI as the driving force on the path to the DIY store of the future. Our innovative solutions for Europe's largest DIY retailer are created in an agile environment and rely on state-of-the-art technologies.
With the OBI Tech Talks we want to establish a knowledge and best practices exchange platform for all people who enjoy modern technologies like AWS, Kafka, Spring, Kotlin, Vue.js, Nuxt as much as we do. Hot topics from the fields of Machine Learning, Data Science and AI will also be covered in our tech talk sessions.
We would also be glad to welcome external speakers at our modern location in Cologne (Carlswerk). Just talk to us at one of our events or write us an email techtalks_meetup(at)obi.de
In addition to exciting talks, free drinks and food are waiting for you!
