**Reclaiming the Landmark: Rewriting Your Relationship with a Holiday, Place, or Event** As summer holidays, gatherings, and activities approach, many of us may find ourselves revisiting memories, emotions, or experiences connected to specific holidays, places, or events. These emotional reactions are not flaws; they can be understood as landmarks that help us better understand where we have been and where we want to go next. In this session, participants will be guided through individual reflection and small group exploration to examine how certain holidays, events, or places can trigger emotions and shape our sense of self. Together, we will explore how to reframe these triggers as meaningful emotional landmarks and begin redefining our relationships with them in ways that feel more grounded, intentional, and authentic. This session is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what honors your true and genuine self as you move into the summer season.

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!
