At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams. *By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)** A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team). This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios. *By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **InnoIT** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎉 ¡Ya está aquí nuestro siguiente evento!** Después del éxito del estreno, estamos encantados de anunciar el siguiente evento de Claude Code Barcelona. ¡No te pierdas estas dos charlas y su correspondiente networking, esta vez gracias a nuestro nuevo host, InnoIT! **⚠️** E**l aforo es limitado .** Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes.

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming event, organized in collaboration with Claude *Code Barcelona*, on **Wednesday, May 20**. 🎙️*Claude Code: Scaling AI Agents & Security in the Wild* **SUMMARY** We will be joined by **[Dror Asaf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drorasaf/)** (Co-Founder & CTO, Kovant) and **[Joaquín Gamiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaquin-gamiz)** (Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor). **🎙️ From Chaos to Marketplace: A Practical Guide to Sharing AI Agent Best Practices at Scale,** Dror Asaf As AI agents become central to development workflows, the real challenge is no longer adoption — it's **scaling them without letting knowledge become siloed** within individuals or teams. At Kovant, this challenge drove a progressive evolution: from ad hoc use in individual repositories to a central instructions repository, to a **dynamic skills system** that adapted to the context per project, ultimately culminating in an **internal plugin marketplace** that made sharing capabilities intuitive. Along the way, we discovered which simple approaches broke down at scale — and which solutions actually held up. This talk provides a **clear framework for managing agent knowledge** based on organizational maturity, along with practical lessons and actionable starting points for any team looking to consolidate **scattered knowledge into shared infrastructure**. **🎙️ Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor,** Joaquín Gamiz Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en **tareas de reconocimiento** y **fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team)**, y también como **apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team)**.

Want to build websites with **modern WordPress**? Come practice with us. **What happens during the session?** * We pick a real website section together — a banner, a team section, a pricing table — from a live site or a Figma file * We reproduce it using WordPress's new block editor (Gutenberg & FSE) * We work in pairs — two people, one laptop, building together **Good to know:** * Spots are limited to 6 — small enough to have real conversations and make real connections * Stuck on something? Someone in the group will be happy to help **Who is it for?** * ​Entrepreneurs, freelancers, developers, designers, or anyone curious about building websites with modern WordPress * ​Some WordPress experience is helpful — no previous experience with the new editor needed **What to bring?** * Your laptop with a local WordPress install — we recommend [LocalWP](https://localwp.com/), it's free and takes 5 minutes to set up * A block theme activated (Twenty Twenty-Five works perfectly) **What is "modern WordPress"?** WordPress has evolved from a simple blog editor into a full site design tool called Gutenberg & Full Site Editing (FSE). You can now build every part of your website — header, footer, templates, page layouts — using visual drag-and-drop blocks, without touching a single line of code. This makes heavy page builders like Elementor unnecessary: no bloat, no plugin dependency. Modern WordPress loads only the styles each page actually needs, resulting in faster, lighter sites — and because clean code and speed are exactly what Google rewards, your SEO improves naturally too. Most WordPress users haven't made the jump yet — this meetup is the place to start. \*\*\* 🇪🇸 ¿Buscas eventos en español? Te recomiendo el grupo WordPress Barcelona 👉 meetup.com/wordpressbcn

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
