Database Professionals

Data Engineers London will be at London's new and exciting conference, [Data Decoded](https://datadecoded.com/ldn) 🎉 After Data Decoded finishes, the data fun continues into the evening at the Olympia in Kensington. **Please subscribe to this event by registering to attend the Data Decoded conference ([link](https://datadecoded.com/)) NOT on Meetup.** **5:30pm:** Gathering at the Data Governance, Risk & Compliance Theatre. **5:45pm:** Talks Start 🗣️The Speakers🗣️ **The API-fication of Data Engineering with Data Contracts** ***Samhita Sarkar, Data Engineering Tech Lead at HP Inc*** ***([Samhita's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/samhitasarkar/))*** ***Talk Abstract:*** Traditional data engineering is often reactive, relying on fragile pipelines that break whenever upstream software changes. By adopting Data Contracts, teams can shift toward a formal, versioned interface modelled after software APIs. This architectural evolution treats data as a public product, ensuring stability and ending the cycle of constant firefighting. ***Samhita's Bio:*** Samhita is a Data Engineering Tech Lead at HP Inc, having worked across diverse domains including marketing, supply chain and insurance in her career. Samhita is passionate about empowering others having mentored over 100 individuals, guiding them to navigate the career path in data engineering. **A data platform: The one we planned and the one we ended up with.** ***Luke Ashe-Browne, Co-Founder and Director of Technology & Consulting at Tyme Technologies ([Luke's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeab/))*** ***Talk Abstract:*** Most data platform talks describe the version on the whiteboard. This one is about the version that arrives afterwards, once the design has met scale, delivery pressure, and the people who have to operate it. Drawing on a recent build for a multi-brand European e-commerce group, it walks through where the gap between planned and actual tends to open up, why it usually widens before it closes, and the kinds of decisions that bring a platform back into shape. This talk offers a view from the honest middle, rather than another greenfield case study. ***Luke's Bio:*** Luke Ashe-Browne is Co-Founder and Director of Technology and Consulting at TYME Technologies, advising businesses and engineering leaders on strategic data platforms, platform engineering, AI and digital delivery programmes. Over 25 years he has led data platform, Cloud, SRE and Kubernetes programmes for clients spanning finance, retail, media, public sector and regulated institutions. **7:30pm:** End of event. **Important Information About The Event:** **👉Please subscribe to this event by registering to attend the Data Decoded conference ([link](https://datadecoded.com/)).** 👉There will be no food & drinks provided at the theatre BUT the organisers are providing us with tickets to their afterparty at the Hilton Olympia.

Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community. No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology. **Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Wednesday April 22nd.** Our theme for this meetup is **Claude Code For The Rest Of Us.** How do you get those most from tools like Claude Code if you're not a developer? We are talking to knowledge workers, product leaders, consultants and entrepreneurs about how they use Claude Code! **Where and When?** * Wednesday, April 22nd * Doors open at 18:00 * Talks start at 19:00 * 123, Pentonville Rd, London N1 9LG **Talk: I Built A Team Of AI Agents. Here's What They Actually Do** ([Liam Darmody](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liamdarmody/), With Curious Growth) AI agents are revolutionising how we work, but the conversation is too often dominated by software development and coding. What about the rest of us? I'm a product leader who spent a decade managing human teams before building a team of AI agents to run alongside me. In this hands-on, demo-heavy session, I'll take you behind the scenes to show you how I built and manage a custom team of AI agents that handle briefing, research, writing, and meeting analysis. I give one agent a task, it pulls in the right context, and passes the work to whichever specialist agent is best suited. This isn't a theoretical talk or a product pitch. It's a practical walkthrough of what works, what doesn't, and what I've learned about designing AI agents that actually do useful work. Whether you're a founder, a strategist, or a knowledge worker looking to scale your output, you'll leave with actionable ideas on how to treat AI not as a single tool, but as a capable team working alongside you. **About Liam:** I help senior product and engineering leaders fix the real reason teams fail. Misalignment. Through executive coaching, product advisory and strategic facilitation, I support leaders to rebuild clarity, alignment and momentum so their teams perform at their best without burning out. **Panel: Getting Started With Claude Code** This is a real "for the rest of us" event. In this panel we'll be digging into the ways ANYONE can get to grips with tools like Claude Code. Liam will be joined by Maebh Booth and Miguel Luna who have been using Claude Code outside of software development to help them save time and make better decisions. **About Maebh:** Maebh Booth is a senior engineering leader focused on platform, developer experience, and the practical realities of AI across the full development lifecycle, currently working independently to help engineering organisations adopt it in a way that actually delivers value. Maebh doesn’t just use AI at work she’s also created a team of agents to help organise her life, as well as fun projects like a cocktail making app and a geneology research web app. **About Miguel:** Miguel is a Product Leader focused on Cloud Native observability, systems thinking, and practical use of AI with search context. Miguel has recently been rethinking the product role completely to get the most from LLMs including tools for cohort retention and funnel analyses, customer health signals, churn prediction, writing PRDs and one-pagers. **Thanks!** We'd like to thank our sponsors Leapter and AutogenAI for making this event possible. Also a massive shoutout to Matt Saunders who is stepping in as MC this month! **Code of Conduct** This event has a code of conduct that you can [review here.](https://aifortherestofus.live/code-of-conduct) By joining the community and registering for this event you agree to abide by our code of conduct. **Providing Your Name and Email** To register for this event you'll be asked to provide your email address.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
