**We’re back!** After a break, the Berlin Tech Leads meetup is officially revived **\- and this time IRL at Berlin Vinted office\.** **We’ve missed the deep dives, the architectural debates, and the networking. To kick things off, we’re tackling one of the fastest-moving landscapes in the industry right now: the intersection of Engineering and Customer Support.** **About the Event** Customer Support is often the first place where AI moves from "experimental" to "mission-critical." For Tech Leads, this shift isn't just about plugging in a basic chatbot; it’s about re-engineering the entire lifecycle of a ticket and how our systems actually interact with our users. In this meetup, we’re looking under the hood of the support stack. We’ll discuss how the landscape is being reshaped by LLMs, the shift toward autonomous agents, and the real technical hurdles of building multi-modal support systems. **Talks:** * [Pau Agustín](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pau-agust%C3%ADn-granell-6420a5139/) & Team Help Experience (vinted.com): "Scaling Support: How Vinted Manages Tens of Thousands of Tickets Every Day" * [Yam Marcovitz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAbVVAwBOgouy-uT1QB1ixhqrafAv1kNxQk) (parlant.io) "Building consistently aligned agents with Parlant" * [Richard Lohwasser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABRCCmYBD9PS9O73AjQ244LC4Gc_NMUcnsY) (enneo.ai): "Applying AI across all channels in real-life customer service at scale: What works, what doesn't, and where we're heading to?" *Just a quick reminder: if you'd like to take the stage and speak at a future Berlin Tech Leads meetup, feel free to drop a message to one of the organisers.*

Ein späterer Einlass ist nicht möglich, weil wir mitten im Flow sind. **Vielen Dank Dir** 🙏🏽 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Menschen mit guten Freunden leben länger, glücklicher und gesünder. Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.** . Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an. . Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch. . **🌸 Dann machen wir einen Workshop!** 1. Maximal 40 Frauen. 2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend 3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß. 4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder. . Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt. . **🔱 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop** Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend. . Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus. . Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir: * "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst." . Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen 🤗. . . **🎁 Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.** Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.** * Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang. . Einige kommen immer wieder, um die Details des gut gestrickten Programms zu ergründen - und immer wieder neue Menschen kennenzulernen oder auf bekannte Gesichter zu treffen. . Bis es endlich Klick macht und die richtigen Freundinnen gefunden sind. . . **🎒 Was bringst Du mit?** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für den Eintritt oder Ticket von Eventbrite . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Prenzlberg - im Life Artist Hub * Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen: Schönhauser Allee (Ringbahn, U2, M1), Eberswalder Straße (U2, M10, M12) * Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert. . **Vorsichtshalber hier die Wegbeschreibung:** * Du gehst in den Hof bis nach hinten durch. Dort ist eine Tür. * Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die Tür sollte sofort summen. Öffne die Tür. * Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir. 🤗 . **👱🏽‍♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?** . Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop? . Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren. . Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :). . Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum. . Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist. . . **Mehr über Abenteuer Freundschaft & mich:** 🌎 [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://%5Bhttps://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/%5D(https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/) "\[https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de\](https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de)") . . **👋🏽 Get in touch & stay in touch:** . **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (Überschriften) . **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur dann, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. . **🔥 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich, was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

"Ich bin ein bunter Hund und habe viele Bekannte. Aber eine Bekanntschaft zur Freundschaft machen - das hast Du mir gezeigt." . "Ich war nervös, ob ich wirklich kommen soll. Was sind da für Leute?

✨ Women in Agile Berlin Event ✨ Deep Work, Real Impact – Reclaiming Focus in a World of Endless Tasks Somewhere, not that far away, a talented woman is not struggling because she lacks skill, ambition, or drive… …but because her day is filled with everything except the work that truly matters. Admin. Coordination. Emotional labor. The invisible glue that keeps everything running, but slowly pulls focus away from real impact. Have you ever ended a full day and wondered: 👉 What did I actually move forward today? 👉 Why does being “busy” not feel meaningful? 👉 When was the last time I worked with real, uninterrupted focus? The idea that some people are “natural multitaskers” sounds like praise, but in reality, it often hides a system that rewards constant availability over meaningful contribution. At our next Women in Agile Berlin event, Saskia Ruschke will explore why deep, focused work is one of the most powerful, and most underprotected, resources we have. ✨ Together, we will explore: • Why constant task switching drains more than just time • How invisible work quietly takes over our days • What it really takes to protect focus in modern work environments • Practical ways to create space for deep work again 👉 What would change if your focus was truly protected? 👉 What kind of impact could you create then? Join us for an evening of reflection, practical tools, and honest conversation. #deepwork #impact #focus #meetup #agile #scrum #meetupberlin #womeninagile #womeninagileberlin

**Abstract:** This is a practical playbook for building a production-grade data lakehouse. It walks through foundational principles — naming conventions, least-privilege access, automated CI/CD testing — before diving into medallion architecture. Furthermore, metadata-driven design patterns show how configuration tables and dynamic notebook orchestration eliminates hard-coded pipelines. The deck covers star schema modeling, guidance on choosing between Spark, Pandas, and SQL, and data quality enforcement using DQX with YAML data contracts.
