In collaboration with **Zalando Switzerland**, we explore how AI agents are transforming software engineering. **Note:** These two talks will be held in **English**. **1st Talk:** Title: **Agentic Coding in the Wild** **Ole Wendland** shares hands-on experience on delegating technical tasks while maintaining human oversight. **The Core Concept:** Tasks like boilerplate, tests, and glue code are delegable, but **business logic and architecture** remain a human responsibility. The developer’s role shifts to a steering authority: **"Trust, but verify."** **Key Takeaways:** * **Precision Matters:** Agents execute what is explicitly described, not what is implicitly meant. * **Real-World Challenges:** From complex debugging (symptom vs. cause) to potential knowledge loss through over-delegation. * **The Shift:** Teams and organizations must adapt to a new, accelerated pace of development. Discover how **Agentic Coding** drives massive efficiency when combined with clear control and structured processes. **2nd Talk:** Title: **Data Engineering with Codex** **Andy Bloechliger**, Backend Engineer at Zalando This talk offers a practical look at how a Zalando data engineer uses the Codex AI agent to automate daily workflows, providing actionable tips for mastering agentic tools and a glimpse into the road ahead for AI-powered teams.

**Building Supply Chain Viability with AI Technology, balancing cost, resilience and sustainably in times of constant change.** Disruption is no longer the exception, it’s the operating environment.

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!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
