RSVP on https://rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/google-cloud-labs-ai-toolkit-toronto . Join Google Cloud Labs for an immersive, hands-on workshop designed to provide you with the practical skills and architectural patterns needed to deploy secure and scalable AI on GKE  and integrate applied AI solutions across Google’s Data Cloud. Please fill out the registration form on Google's event page to express interest in joining the event! Capacity is limited and registration is required.  Welcome to The Cloud Engineer's AI Toolkit workshop!  This hands-on workshop will provide you with the practical skills and architectural patterns needed to deploy secure and scalable AI on GKE  and integrate applied AI solutions across Google’s Data Cloud. This is an interactive session, not a lecture. Get ready for a series of live labs where you will use GKE OneMCP and the Gemini CLI to accelerate operations, and implement the GKE Agent Sandbox for secure code execution. In our data lab, we’ll guide you through building multimodal pipelines to power BigQuery Graph analytics and agentic workflows in ADK. You will leave with the practical expertise to deploy, secure, and scale production-grade AI workloads. Note: To participate, you must bring your own laptop and power cable. The activities require a laptop and cannot be completed on a tablet or phone.    Who Should Attend? This program is designed for Platform and Security Engineers, as well as Data Practitioners.  Whether your focus is implementing defense-in-depth strategies, such as securing inference endpoints and enforcing security policies via Workload Identity and Policy Controller, or building multimodal data platforms that power agentic workflows, this session is for you. To get the most out of the labs, you should have foundational knowledge of GKE, and containerization, and basic SQL, alongside a commitment to maintaining auditable, scalable security for AI workloads. What You Will Learn: Master AI-Augmented Operations: Dive into the next generation of infrastructure management by utilizing the GKE MCP server, Gemini CLI, and kubectl-ai to replace manual slogging with seamless, natural-language-driven cluster operations. Architect Secure Agentic Ecosystems: Build and deploy AI agents using the GKE Agent Sandbox, implementing hardware-isolated environments that safely execute untrusted, AI-generated code without compromising your cluster's security posture. Engineer Autonomous Remediation: Transition from reactive troubleshooting to proactive platform skills, creating custom AI agents that autonomously detect, diagnose, and resolve complex configuration drifts and cascading failures in real-time. Unify & Govern AI Data Pipelines: Learn to establish governed pathways for ingesting, cleaning, and managing multi-format data across structured and unstructured sources, ensuring your AI is always grounded in accurate, secure information. Unlock Multimodal Insights: Discover how to leverage built-in AI across your data ecosystem to analyze complex datasets, compare vector embeddings, and integrate your agents with data  to uncover patterns that human eyes might miss. Agenda --- Hosted By Solomon Hsu, GDG Organizer I believe in one mandate in the digital space: Crafting Authentic Digital Experiences for All People. With that vision, I value digital accessibility and user centric design as the core foundation for all my projects. It is within the users' insights and needs that allow us to build great apps.

Most of us are already using agentic coding in some form: Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or whatever new thing shipped this week. This talk is about the next layer: where the industry is heading as agents take on larger chunks of software work, and what Java developers need to learn to stay ahead. We’ll focus on context management, token strategy, orchestration, Codex-style workflows, cost optimization, and the practical judgment required to use these systems without losing the plot. The goal is to move beyond intro demos and into the real skill stack: knowing what to delegate, how to frame goals, how to keep agents grounded in larger codebases, how to get more value from fewer tokens, how to catch drift before it becomes damage, and how to verify output in a way that actually protects quality. This is also a career talk, because the tools are improving too quickly for casual awareness to be enough. The developers who stay valuable will not just be the ones who “use AI”; they’ll be the ones who can direct, constrain, evaluate, and compound with agentic systems. P.S. Due to popular demand, the slick Keynote animations are coming back. **About the venue** Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk. **Speaker Bio** Victor Szoltysek is a seasoned consultant and technologist, currently at RAVL, where he helps clients eliminate the inefficiencies of undifferentiated heavy lifting and focus on building solutions that drive real business value for their customers.

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

[Summary] This meetup is for those who are interested in code, web development, design, cloud, or AI. All levels are welcome, so feel free to bring your laptop and discuss what you are working on or what you are learning. You can share your projects and ideas with other participants freely.

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017
