Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can write your code at incredible speeds! But how safe is it? New tools make it easy for non-technical people to write code and build projects. “Vibe Coding” lets you describe anything you want to build and the AI assistant takes care of the rest. In this meetup, we’ll put some AI-generated code to the test and perform a live audit of the code of a smart contract that works as a decentralized exchange (DEX). Duncan from 0x presents the code produced by an AI and gives an overview of good design features to be aware of. Next are Sam and Paddy that have prepared some audits to test it and will also conduct a live demonstration on how to test code with a quick AI model. Join the discussion and we’ll figure out the future together ;) The speakers: Duncan is lead smart contract developer at 0x/Matcha, a leading DEX aggregator and swap dApp. 0x lets builders embed crypto trading in any app. Give your users the same deep liquidity & optimal trade execution trusted by Coinbase, Phantom, & more. Samnuel is a software engineer and Co-Founder of SoDNAscan, a health-tech SaaS turning genetic and wearable data into AI-generated personalized health books, with 4+ years of experience in full-stack development and AI integration. Paddy is co-founder of P2 Studios, a Malta-based AI development studio. As a jack of all trades in software, he first started off in game development 7 years ago. He then branched off to fields like frontend, backend, smart contracts and AI and now builds privacy-first software across agentic AI, speech-to-text, and more.

🍷 Drink with AI: Exploring Computer Vision & Wine Grab your laptop and a glass! Join us for a hands-on GDG event where we explore the practical side of computer vision. Can an AI learn to visually distinguish between different bottles and varieties of local Maltese wine? In this interactive session, we'll guide you through the process of training custom machine learning models to recognize, classify, and demonstrate computer vision techniques using a selection of fantastic wines provided by Tal-Massar Winery. Whether you are an AI enthusiast, a wine lover, or a beginner curious about machine learning, this event is the perfect blend of tech and culture. You'll get to see exactly how image classification works in real-time, and enjoy some great local wine while doing it! 📅 Event Details Date: March 28th Time: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Location: Faculty of ICT - Common Room (-1, B) Please bring your laptop! This is a fully interactive, hands-on workshop. We'll be using accessible, browser-based tools, so you won't need to install any heavy software beforehand, but you will need your own device to build, train, and test your computer vision models alongside us. Spaces are limited, so be sure to RSVP early. We can't wait to build with AI (and grab a drink) with you! Agenda --- Hosted By James Gatt, Administrator AOSP Enthusiast Recognized Developer on XDA Developers Experienced with both AOSP and Device Engineering Matthias Bartolo, Logistics Matthias Bartolo (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) received the B.Sc. IT (Hons.) in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Malta in 2024, graduating with First Class Honours and ranking first in his cohort. He subsequently completed an M.Sc. in ICT by Research at the University of Malta in 2025. His principal research interests lie in computer vision, applied machine learning, and in exploring how AI may be harnessed to support and empower individuals. He has gained considerable experience working on real-world projects involving complex datasets, developing practical solutions in contexts where the way forward was not immediately apparent. In this regard, he upholds a strong commitment to integrity and embraces the ideal of being “a man for others,” striving to use his abilities in service of the greater good. Matthias is actively involved in multiple projects that bridge research and application, advancing computer vision and applied machine learning techniques while contributing to several peer-reviewed publications. He was selected as a member of the Google Developers Group in Malta, where he contributes to various projects and initiatives within the group and the university. Beyond his academic and technical work, he also forms part of several voluntary organisations, further reflecting his commitment to service and community engagement. In 2024, he was honoured with the Dean’s List Award by the Faculty of ICT in recognition of his outstanding academic achievements, and was robed by the Rector during the graduation ceremony as the top student of his cohort.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
