Conversations are usually technically deep and hands-on. 👉🏻 **Good fit:** engineers, technical founders, researchers. 👉🏻 **Not a fit:** "AI curious", general networking. 👉🏻**Bring:** a project, demo, repo, problem you’re stuck on, or a hiring need. ⏰ We'll start at **7:00 PM at [Alice Secret Garden C/ de Pau Claris, 90, L'Eixample!](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ucBUHhce9Ps2dBrJ8)** After you enter through the main entrance, please go straight to the garden in the back: **[video](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/ai-engineers-website.firebasestorage.app/o/alice-secret-garden.mp4?alt=media&token=41463aed-27db-44f0-ae42-9f6ad2b5d486)** 🔥 Join our **[community on WhatsApp (developers only)](https://forms.fillout.com/t/76vmbAQRoNus)** 🔥 LinkedIn: **[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ai-engineers-community)** 🔥 Website: **[https://ai-engineers.community](https://ai-engineers.community)** See you then!

Join us for our first [Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)-dedicated meetup before the summer break 🌴 We want to thank **[Schwarz Digits Spain](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)** for kindly hosting us for this evening of learning and networking! **🧭** **What is Kyverno?** **[Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)** is a CNCF-graduated, Kubernetes-native policy engine. Unlike other tools that require learning a new programming language, Kyverno allows you to manage cluster governance, security, and compliance using familiar Kubernetes manifests. With zero coding required, you can easily: * **Validate**: Block non-compliant resources before they hit your cluster. * **Mutate**: Automatically inject sidecars, labels, or configurations on the fly. * **Generate**: Automatically create new resources (such as NetworkPolicies or ConfigMaps) when a new namespace is provisioned. **📅 Agenda** * **18:30-18:45**. Doors Open. * **18:45-19:45**. Talks (see below). * **19:45-20:30**. Mingling and food. **📍Location:** c/ Bergara 13\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6) **🎙️ Talks** **1️⃣ The Kyverno Five: New Policy Types And What You Can Do With Them**, [Cortney Nickerson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cortney-nickerson-26836413a/) *\- Head of Community at [Nirmata](https://nirmata.com)* (Talk in English 🇬🇧) As Kubernetes has evolved, so has Kyverno! This talk provides a tour of the five new Kyverno policy types, ValidatingPolicy, ImageValidatingPolicy, MutatingPolicy, GeneratingPolicy, DeletingPolicy, with real-world examples of how you can use them to solve complex security, automation, and governance issues. The talk will end by showcasing how you can combine the usage of these policy types, for advanced platform engineering solutions. **2️⃣ Kyverno más allá de la validación: automatización con mutación y generación de recursos**, [Javier Dompablo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/javier-d-62a7b824b) - *Expert Platform Engineer and Product Security en [Schwarz Digits](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)* (Talk in Spanish 🇪🇸) En esta sesión exploraremos dos de las capacidades más potentes de Kyverno: la mutación y la generación de recursos. Veremos cómo automatizar las configuraciones, aplicar de forma transparente los estándares de la plataforma a los equipos de desarrollo y reducir la carga operativa mediante la creación y la modificación automáticas de recursos en Kubernetes. A través de ejemplos prácticos, descubriremos cómo implementar políticas que mejoran la consistencia, la seguridad y la gobernanza de los clústeres sin necesidad de modificar las aplicaciones.

# Philosophical Psychology **Welcome to Philosophical Psychology!** Join us on our Walks, where we philosophize about life and share our opinions as we walk through parks and nature. The main goal is to get together and share our views on life and the world around us. We gather at the intersection of **psychology** and **practical philosophy** to examine the questions that neither discipline can fully answer alone: The question for this walk is: What makes you happy? No prior knowledge required. Just an open mind... Hope to see you there. Best, Didi We meet under the Arc de Triomf. *** *** **Who I am** I am a psychologist and psychotherapist, also with a PhD in Philosophy. *** **What to Expect** * A respectful, intellectually stimulating atmosphere * Philosophical and Psychological perspectives you can perhaps apply to your life * A community of people who take interesting ideas seriously

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **July 2nd**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by [InnoIT Consulting](https://www.inno-it.es/en/) 📍**Location**: C/ Diputació\, 280\, Bajos 2ª · Barcelona \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/CnaqHvZnv32T8Un47 \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:15** **I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** \- Matīss Treinis * **19:15 - 19:45** **DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** \- Vicent Soria * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** * **Speaker**: **[Matīss Treinis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matisst/)** \- Creator and Author\, [SpecDD](https://specdd.ai/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Introduction to SpecDD, a Specification-driven development framework that enables humans and AI agents to build better software. * **About**: I have spent most of my life building things. Close to twenty years of production platforms, infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tooling, and the organisational structures around them. My background is in software engineering and architecture, but most of my work has lived where product requirements, developer tooling, infrastructure, delivery process, and team structure all meet. I build the systems around the software as much as the software itself. I have run full technology functions end-to-end: development, architecture, DevOps, delivery, hiring, vendor strategy, and operational structure. A lot of my career has been spent taking environments that are unstable, fragmented, or afraid to ship, and turning them into organisations that can move quickly without collapsing under their own weight. I still work hands-on every day. I write code, work in infrastructure, and stay close to the actual problems instead of managing them from a distance. *** * **Title: DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** * **Speaker**: **[Vicent Soria](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicentsoria/)** \- Fractional Infrastructure Engineer @ [techabreath.com](https://techabreath.com/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About**: I work with management and technical teams to connect strategy with execution. My goal is to transform technology from an obstacle into a business driver. I act as a fractional CTO, DevOps engineer, or technology consultant, depending on each client's needs at any given time. I provide a practical and strategic perspective, helping to make impactful technology decisions: those that accelerate projects, improve processes, and align technology with business objectives. \-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport" field** when registering!

## **From Data Autonomy to Adaptive AI: Building Systems That Change How Decisions Get Made** **DOORS OPEN: 18:30** **TALKS START: 19:00** **NETWORKING: 20:00 - 21:30** ## **Our Speakers** **Marta Expósito Ventura, PhD, Head of Data, Stark Future** **Africa Perianez, Co-founder & CEO, Causal Foundry** ## **Marta Esposito - From ticket queues to data autonomy - engineering the shift** **Marta Esposito is Head of Data at Stark Future, an electric motorcycle company building high-performance, connected vehicles at the intersection of hardware, software, manufacturing and data.** **In her talk, Marta will explore what it takes to move a data function away from reactive ticket queues and towards a more autonomous operating model. As connected products generate increasingly rich streams of operational, product and user data, the role of data teams changes: from responding to requests, to enabling better decisions across the organisation.** **Her session will look at the engineering, organisational and cultural shift behind data autonomy: how teams structure data work, prioritise internal demand, build trust in data products and move closer to the real systems they support.** ## **Africa Perianez - Designing AI for imperfect conditions** **Africa Perianez is Co-founder and CEO of Causal Foundry, where she leads a team of engineers and AI scientists building reinforcement learning and personalisation technologies for real-world operational decision-making.** **Her work focuses on adaptive AI infrastructure that supports decisions across healthcare, logistics, behavioural nudging, demand forecasting, stockout prevention and resource allocation. Causal Foundry works with global partners including the Gates Foundation, Google.org, GAVI, Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, applying AI in environments where decisions are complex, resources are constrained and impact matters.** **In this talk, Africa will explore how AI systems move beyond prediction and dashboards into adaptive decision support. What does it take to build systems that can operate across changing contexts, local constraints and human behaviour? And how do you design AI that supports better decisions without pretending the real world is cleaner than it is?** ## **What’s In It For You?** **Some of the most interesting work in AI today is not just about building more powerful models. It is about turning data, machine learning and decision intelligence into systems that people and organisations can actually use.** **In this DeepTech Talks edition, Marta and Africa will explore two complementary sides of applied AI: how data teams become more autonomous inside complex organisations, and how adaptive AI systems support operational decisions in the real world.** **You’ll hear about:** * **How data teams move from reactive service models to autonomous data products** * **What it takes to build AI systems that support operational decision-making** * **How reinforcement learning and personalisation can be applied beyond consumer tech** * **The gap between dashboards, predictions and decisions that actually change outcomes** * **How technical teams work with messy real-world systems, constraints and stakeholders** **Expect a grounded conversation about AI that becomes s part of how organisations sense, decide and act.** ## **Who Should Come?** * **Data scientists, ML engineers and AI engineers** * **Data leaders, analytics leaders and engineering managers** * **Product leaders working with data-heavy or AI-enabled systems** * **Deep tech founders and technical operators** * **People working across healthtech, mobility, logistics, manufacturing or decision intelligence** * **Anyone curious about how applied AI becomes operational infrastructure** ## **Extras** **We’ll have food and drinks. 🍷🍕** **Come ready to meet engineers, founders, esearchers, data leaders and technology builders working on the next generation of applied AI systems.** **Spaces are limited, so grab your spot on Meetup while you can.** **Brought to you by DeepTech Recruitment & Cloudworks.** The organisers and venue reserve the right to refuse admission or entry and shall not be held liable for any incidents, losses or damages occurring during the event.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
