Data Engineers London is partnering once again with the [London Snowflake User Group](https://usergroups.snowflake.com/london/) to bring you a data engineering event in the heart of the City of London this May 🎉 Sign up is either through this Meetup event or on LSUG's event. Agenda is as follows: **6:00pm:** Doors Open & Networking at [Kubrick](https://kubrickgroup.com/) **6:30pm:** Talks Start 🗣️The Speakers🗣️ ***Utilising Snowflake Openflow for Regulatory Reporting*** **Lucie Gamby**, Data Engineer at Entain ([Lucie's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/luciegamby/)) ***Talk Abstract*** Regulatory reporting often comes with a large list of requirements (in our case, an 80-page document full of them) alongside specific and complex business logic as a given. With a large volume of sensitive data to handle, we wanted a solution that would help keep our data within the same environment - hence the choice to explore Openflow as an option to facilitate our delivery to regulators. This session will cover what it took for our team to go from no prior knowledge or experience of Openflow to deploying a production-ready system with it. Demonstrations, What Went Wells, Pitfalls, and what we’d do differently next time! ***Speaker Bio*** Lucie graduated from Lancaster University with a degree in Computer Science in 2023 and joined the Sigma Labs graduate scheme in January 2024. After a 15-week coding fundamentals course, she specialised in Data Engineering, and then placed at Entain in June 2024. Having been exposed to a wide range of tools and platforms since, Lucie has since been tasked with leading the charge for her team to adopt Snowflake Openflow into the tech stack. ***Data Engineering: People, Patterns, Platforms*** **Yomi Bazuaye**, Data, Analytics and ML Engineering Leader ([Yomi's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yomibazuaye/)) ***Talk Abstract:*** What should *your* data platform *do*? What should it *not* do? How should it harness AI? Stories and examples from building and scaling data platforms across multiple industry sectors and organisations. ***Speaker Bio:*** Yomi is a Data professional with many years of experience in data and analytics engineering. In recent years he has focussed on helping organisations build self-service data platforms, create data products and design and implement a data culture. He has worked within multiple sectors including online banking, e-commerce and supply chain, using multiple tech stacks, including: AWS, Snowflake, GCP, Azure, Databricks.

A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games. Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it. We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different. Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before. Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part! Who knew getting fit could be this fun? **TO BOOK**: It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

**Please register on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ljc-meet-up-at-redis-tickets-1989301512374) join this event.** **About this event** The LJC is delighted to be partnering with our sponsor **Redis** for an exciting meetup! This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn, network and enjoy great food together. Huge thanks to our friends at **Redis** for sponsoring this event and supporting our Community. **Agenda:** **5:30pm:** Doors open **6pm:** LJC and Redis intros **6:10pm:** Samuel Agbede: Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI **7pm:** Break & food **7:30pm:** Leif Åstrand: UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java **8:15pm:** Networking **9pm:** Event finish **Speaker One:** Samuel Agbede, **Title:** Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI **Synopsis:** Exploring how Redis can go beyond traditional caching to support semantic caching, intelligent routing, and short-lived application memory in AI-driven Java systems. **Speaker Bio:** Software Engineer and Developer Advocate at Redis focused on AI agents and memory systems. Samuel explores how context, retrieval and state shape intelligent behaviour in real-world applications. **Speaker Two:** Leif Åstrand **Title:** UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java **Synopsis:** Full-stack development can be intimidating, especially when going beyond the typical CRUD. A reactive application with real-time updates requires knowing things like WebSockets on top of the regular frontend stuff. But what if you could build a full-featured full-stack web app using only straightforward Java? No JavaScript, no HTML, no CSS. Just Java. Join this live coding session to discover how to develop a reactive web app using Spring Boot, Redis and Vaadin. Starting from scratch, we'll cover everything: real-time updates, external services, and a good-looking UI. All in Java. **Speaker Bio:** Leif has been working with full-stack web application development in various ways for the past 20 years. Building applications, building frameworks for building applications, and in the last few years mainly working to understand what it takes to build applications. Works at Vaadin in areas related to product management, research, architecture and product development. This event is organised by [RecWorks](https://recworks.co.uk/ "https://recworks.co.uk/") on behalf of the London Java Community.

**Everyone's talking about graphs now: What does Azure have to offer?** Microsoft Fabric now has a built-in graph database. So do you still need Neo4j? In this session we put Fabric Graph and Neo4j Aura head to head. Not as a marketing exercise, but as a practical decision guide. We’ll cover where Fabric Graph earns its place as a zero-friction, OneLake-native option for connected data, and where Neo4j Aura pulls ahead on query maturity, algorithm depth, and production readiness. We’ll run the same problem through both platforms live, so you can see the real differences rather than just read a feature table. You’ll leave with a clear decision framework: when to use what’s already in your Fabric capacity, when to bring in the specialist, and why the answer is sometimes both. **About the Speaker** Sandy is a Principal Innovation Consultant at Acora (a title all the cool kids aspire to) and Databricks Champion. He’s passionate about technology and finding the best tool for the job. Having recently worked on a project building out a knowledge graph, he’s got the experience with Neo4j to really show the differences between where it wins and where fabric wins.

We are excited to announce our May Community Showcase. This event is an opportunity for individuals at all skill levels to come together and share their experiences with Rust. Whether you’re working on a personal project, contributing to an open-source initiative, or teaching a concept related to Rust, we invite you to present your work and insights. Take this opportunity to build your confidence and share what you are doing. Speakers === **Sang Young Noh** **Talk title:** FerrumMD: Building a Molecular Dynamics Engine in Rust **Abstract:** FerrumMD is a molecular dynamics engine written in Rust, built to explore high-performance scientific computing from first principles. The project implements core simulation components, including Lennard-Jones interactions, periodic boundary conditions, Verlet integration, velocity rescaling, and electrostatics via Particle Mesh Ewald. It aims to bridge computational chemistry, systems programming, and extensible design for future free-energy workflows.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn together, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
