WTM Berlin x SPICED Academy: AI and Building a Tech career in Berlin
Women Techmakers Berlin and SPICED Academy are joining forces to host an evening focused on both building *efficient AI systems* and navigating the real challenges of building a *career in tech*—beyond just learning technical skills.
## Talks
Talk 1: Confidence Beyond Skills - What Really Holds Women Back in Tech Careers - by Marina Matveevskaia
Many women in tech keep investing in new courses, skills, and certifications, yet still feel stuck or “not ready enough” to take the next career step.
In this talk, we will look beyond technical competence and explore the less visible factors that often shape career growth much more strongly — such as self-trust, fear of visibility, internalized expectations, and the emotional impact of burnout or layoffs.
I will share common patterns I see in highly capable women and why “just improving skills” is often not the real barrier.
Participants will leave with new perspectives and simple reflection tools to better understand what is holding them back and how to move forward in a more sustainable and aligned way.
Talk 2: Efficient Agentic Systems - by Jane Waithira
Let Classical ML Do the Heavy Lifting, Let Agents Do the Thinking
There’s a temptation to throw an LLM at every problem—but the most effective systems take a different approach.
This talk explores how to combine deterministic, classical machine learning for predictable tasks with LLM-powered agents for reasoning and decision-making—so you can build systems that are fast, cost-effective, and reliable.
## Speakers
**Jane Waithira:**
Jane Waithira is an innovative, solution-oriented developer working in AI/ML, currently at SAP in Germany, where she integrates applied AI and GenAI for SAP's own cloud infrastructure. With over five years of experience building production AI systems, Jane has established her skillset in practical applications of ML and GenAI.
Her talk will provide attendees with a practical framework for building efficient agentic systems that combine deterministic classical ML with the flexibility of LLM-powered agents.

Lousy & Lazy SC - Mixed Friendly Football
Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!**
We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.**
Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/).
Rules for lazy & lousy football
1. **Don’t be competitive**
2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges**
3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball**
4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).**
5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.**
6. **Rotate the goalkeeper**
7. **Be a teamplayer**
Waiting list:
This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

Planning Parental Leave in Tech
Planning to go on parental leave while working in tech? You probably have a ton of questions, and we will do our best to get you answers.
Whether you're expecting, currently on leave, planning ahead or wanting to support your teammates, navigating parental leave comes with a lot of new challenges.
Technical careers require us to stay up to date and living in Germany adds another layer of bureaucratic hurdles to the mix.
To help you feel more prepared, we have selected panelists who've been through it and will share their experiences openly: what worked, what surprised them, and what they wish they'd known.
We'll cover the practical and bureaucratic side, the career side, and we'll reserve time for your questions.

Leipzig Gophers #60 - Nix, Go, LLM
## Learn Go and NixOS deployments with large language models
Hello, 世界!
When used sensibly, language models can be tutors, too. For meetup #60 on Tuesday [May 26, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537727) we are really happy to have [Maxime](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plumps/) dive into Nix/NixOS with the help of language models.
Nix is a functional package manager and its immutable traits enable robust, reproducable deployments of Go (and other) projects. The high level goals of Nix/NixOS are similar to other immutable Linux distributions, like [Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/) or [Bazzite](https://bazzite.gg/).
Becoming familiar with the Nix configuration language can be a challenge, but one that a well instructed tutor may help with.
> Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in education to enable personalized learning and intelligent tutoring [LLM Agents for Education: Advances and Applications](https://aclanthology.org/anthology-files/anthology-files/pdf/findings/2025.findings-emnlp.743.pdf) (11/2025)
Why reproducible and immutable deployments play a role? [Justin Garrison](https://justingarrison.com/blog/state-of-immutable-linux/) says:
> It’s 2026, if you’re not using something immutable (or at least reproducable) you’re doing more maintenance work than you should. [blog post recapping talk from [Southern California Linux Expo 23x](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x)], 03/2026, PASADENA, CA
### Schedule
* 18:45 Doors open
* 19:00 Welcome
* 19:10 Dive into Nix/NixOS with LLMs
* 19:50 Open discussion
We’ll meet:
* in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558))
* and online via [https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss](https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss)
Join us to discuss robust Go deployments, language models as learning tools and more!

**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.

Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
