**Talk 1:** The TriMech Design Process: Turning Ideas Into Production Ready Products
**Talk description:**
This talk provides a high level walkthrough of [TriMech Design Solutions](https://design.trimech.com/)’ streamlined, end to end product development process. Formerly known as MAKO Design before its acquisition, the team now combines startup savvy industrial design with the broader engineering, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities of TriMech. Attendees will discover how this integrated ecosystem empowers inventors, startups, and small companies to move from early sketches to manufacturable products with greater speed, clarity, and affordability.
Magnus Skold and Tim Uys will guide the audience through each stage of the traditional design process, which includes research, concept development, refinement, CAD, engineering, prototyping, prototype refinement, and DFM. They will also illustrate how TriMech’s lean methodology keeps clients engaged and educated at every step. The session includes a visual breakdown of the workflow and highlights how disciplined creativity, engineering rigor, and manufacturability work together to bring ideas to life.

**Talk 2:** Jon Olsen -Thermoelectrics: Physics, Pitfalls, and Practical Design
**Talk description:**
Thermoelectric (Peltier) coolers are one of the most misunderstood technologies in electronics. Many engineers treat them like a tiny refrigerator or simply sandwich one between a chip and a heatsink. In reality, a thermoelectric module is no more a complete cooling solution than the compressor alone is an HVAC system. Used incorrectly, they can create thermal runaway, waste power, and make systems perform worse instead of better. This lightning talk will explain how thermoelectrics actually work and where they make sense in real systems. We will look at practical robotics and embedded applications such as stabilizing thermal camera sensors, managing burst heat loads in motors and batteries, and controlling temperature in sealed systems where compressors or refrigerants are not practical. The talk will focus on the system design approach required to make thermoelectrics succeed, including the thermal stack and heat rejection. I will also briefly introduce a thermoelectric evaluation kit we are developing to help engineers experiment with TEC systems and design them correctly. I am looking for about ten beta testers from the community who are interested in trying the hardware and providing feedback.
About **Jon Olsen:**
[Jon Olsen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonwwo/) is a product manager at Sheetak, an Austin-based company that designs and manufactures thermoelectric cooling and generation technology. His work focuses on developing practical thermal systems and evaluation platforms that help engineers integrate thermoelectrics into real products. Jon’s background combines entrepreneurship and engineering. He has spent much of his career building hardware products and bringing electromechanical systems to market, with experience spanning thermal systems, IoT devices, and manufacturing. He enjoys working at the intersection of physics, product design, and hands-on hardware development.

Location: Yoga Meditation Group, 13740 Research Blvd., Bldg T, Unit 3, Austin, 78750
Yoga Asana is the physical practice of yoga that includes exercises, breathing, and relaxation. The purpose of Yoga Asana isn't fitness. It is, in part, to take care of the body as our vehicle; and although this may include fitness, it should never be defined by it. Yoga Asana practice gives us the opportunity to become aware of the body and the life force within the body, helping us to experience that we are not the body but rather the eternal being within the body who needs fulfillment on a level that the body cannot satisfy. This experience can then lead us to the deeper yoga practices, which are centered around meditation (the heart of yoga) and spiritual inquiry about our eternal identity and purpose. All of our meditation classes are free and are listed here on Meetup. Let us know if you have any questions. Namaste.
NOTE: We do not require masks. We believe it is important to be able to breathe freely while practicing yoga asana and meditation. If you are not comfortable with this, we have links we can send you that may be helpful in practicing at home.

Meet other Algorithmic Traders, Day Traders, Option Traders and Investors
Note this is for informational and educational purposes. Not financial or tax advice **see detailed disclaimer below**.
We will discuss trading and investing strategies, as well as the skills needed to start. It is a **casual meetup to meet people who are interested in trading or building a career around it, especially algorithmically. No "financial gurus" are welcome.**
Join us for a meetup where we share trading ideas, and connect with others who share a common interest in investing.
Algorithmic trading is commonly used by large institutional investors and market makers, but it is also accessible to retail traders. It offers several advantages over manual or discretionary approaches—particularly in minimizing psychological errors that often impact human traders.
Some of the topics we usually discuss:
\- Reasons for investing
\- Limitations of being a retail trader
\- Practical tools: brokers\, APIs\, data sources\, real\-time implementation
\- Brainstorming ideas: strategies that may be working today
**Note this even is not sponsored or endorsed by any business where we are meeting. We are just using their space for casual meetup event.**
**Please no promotion of MLM, pyramid schemes, self promotion to paid services, affiliate promotion, paid subscriptions or similar stuff.**

- Central Austin
- There is overflow parking
- There's a lot of indoor seating
Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces!
Though we do love our recruiter friends, we want to keep this a low pressure light hearted space for data people to interact and enjoy one another's company.

Join us for a night of fun, flirtation, and possible romance at our singles speed dating event! If you're tired of swiping left and right on dating apps, speed dating is a great way to meet new people in person, in a relaxed, safe, and comfortable environment.
**HOW IT WORKS:**
We'll introduce you to at least 5, and up to 12 - or more - single women or men. Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest! It's the modern, civilized, effective, and fun way to meet other professional-level singles. If you're finished with the games and ineffectiveness of online dating and apps, join us to share a wonderful evening of enjoyable conversation with interesting people... and maybe something magical will happen!
**GET TICKETS:**
A Facebook RSVP is not a ticket, you must purchase on our website.

Use Code **MATCH5** for $5 off!
**DOES IT WORK?**
Yes! According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages.
**WHAT DOES IT COST?**
We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town.
**NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
We post our events on various platforms. Our events often sell out, so expect plenty of fellow singles, regardless of the numbers you see here :)
So what are you waiting for?
Join us for some fun conversation with great new people... and maybe something more!
Who will you meet?

How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**
We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:
**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**
We’ll cover:
* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice
This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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.

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
