Patras Tech Talk 2025.10 [Software, better]

Patras Tech Talk is back and this time we focus on building better tech, from clean data workflows to the foundations of thoughtful software engineering.

Join us for two engaging talks that aim to inform, inspire, and open up meaningful discussions.

Agenda:
18:00 Doors open
18:10–18:20 Welcome and introductions
18:20-18:30 The CoLab Makerspace
18:30–19:10 "Do it once. Do it right. Do it again: Data Science Done Right" by Christos Aridas.
Let’s discuss how to turn messy experiments, scattered data, and ad-hoc pipelines into reproducible, trackable, and automatable data science workflows that just work.
19:10–19:50 "The Scarcity of Engineering Craftsmanship" by Vasilis Christopoulos from Programium.
In a world obsessed with speed, aesthetics, and AI-generated "vibes", true engineering craftsmanship is vanishing. This talk challenges the hype and makes a case for real engineers — those who build with depth, discipline, and intent — to reclaim the soul of software.
19:50–20:50 Networking and more
20:50–21:00 Wrap-up and farewell
21:00 Doors close

The event is kindly hosted by coLab Makerspace.
