Agentic AI
Welcome to the April'26 edition of PyData Ireland. This meetup is in association with Quantum Black, AI by McKinsey.
Agenda for the day:
* 17:30 – Arrival
* 18:00 – Start of talks (Details below)
* *Jitendra Gundaniya*: **Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner-Friendly)**
* *Dmitry Sorokin*: **Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines**
* 19:30 – Networking
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Talk 1:** Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner Friendly)
**Speaker Name and Designation:** Jitendra Gundaniya, Senior Software Engineer at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey
**Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11)
**Talk Description:** This talk shows how Kedro Builder, a visual drag-and-drop tool, can lower that barrier. We'll walk through building a simple agentic pipeline visually dragging LLM context nodes, connecting prompts and tools, and exporting a working Kedro project, all without writing boilerplate by hand. Think of it as a learning ramp: see the pipeline structure first, then dive into the code.
**Key Takeaways:**
* How a visual builder can make agentic pipeline patterns (LLM + prompts + tools → agent → output) more approachable for beginners
* What `llm_context_node` is and how it simplifies GenAI pipeline creation in Kedro
* A live walkthrough of building and exporting a GenAI pipeline using Kedro Builder
* Where the visual approach helps (pipeline scaffolding, boilerplate) and where you still need code (agent logic, output schemas)
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Talk 2:** Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines
**Speaker Name and Designation:** Dmitry Sorokin, Senior Machine Learning Engineer II at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey
**Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/)
**Talk Description:** This talk explores how traditional data & ML pipeline frameworks can be wrapped with an MCP server, enabling AI agents (e.g. LangGraph, Claude Code) to connect and manage pipelines programmatically. We’ll look at how this approach combines the deterministic nature of production data & ML workflows with the flexibility and reasoning capabilities of modern AI agents.
**Key Takeaways:**
* How to expose data & ML pipelines through an MCP server
* How AI agents can orchestrate and manage existing workflows
* A practical pattern for combining deterministic pipelines with agentic flexibility

DubJUG 264: GONG & Agentic AI Tools
This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady.
DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>>
https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq
Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!)
## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools
Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how.
## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices**
In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when.
Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem.
Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

THE DRAMA @ The Savoy - "Late Late" Breakfast - Friday Night Movie
Hi everyone,
I hope you're well!
We love the cinema and I’d like us to support again our oldest cinema on O’Connell Street and a nearby eatery (giving them our ‘business’), given recent events - so let’s go back to the Savoy this month.
I hope you’ll not yet have had the chance to see the chosen movie yet - it out with a bit but is getting very interesting recommendations from fellow Meetup friends and official reviewers.
**[The Drama | Official Trailer HD | A24](https://youtu.be/6zmKcUa4Xxk?si=GcW-DD-QQrca6iyC)**
**THE DRAMA - Screen 01, 19:30pm (105 mins)**
*“Kristoffer Borgli’s (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario) latest is a darkly comic romantic drama about Emma and Charlie, an engaged couple played by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, whose relationship begins to unravel in the days before their wedding. As long-buried secrets and unsettling truths emerge, the young couple are forced to confront how little they may truly know about one another. What should be a joyful celebration turns into an emotionally volatile reckoning that threatens to upend their future together.”*
**Dining (now closed):** We will then have dinner beforehand in [Bobo’s on Abbey Street](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFLX3BF9JVUVVVzw5) at 6:00pm. It’s primarily a really good burger place, but they also do nachos, wings, and salads as well. ***The numbers for dinner are now closed. If you'd like to join a Waitlist, send me a PM directly?***
Note that they do not split bills there so it’s CASH ONLY again for this one.
Again, if you want to explore more about The Savoy’s rich history: [https://www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/savoy-cinema-souvenir-programme-opening-ceremony-november-29-1929-president-cosgrave](https://www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/savoy-cinema-souvenir-programme-opening-ceremony-november-29-1929-president-cosgrave)
Cinema Premiere | AI Filmmaking Hackathon
On Sunday 19 April, the Give(a)Go AI Filmmaking Hackathon v2 closes at the Savoy, Dublin.
A cinema premiere. A live award ceremony.
**NOTE: To get a ticket apply to join here: [www.giveago.co/register/premiere](giveago.co/register/premiere)**
One night to see what happened when 100 of Ireland's best creatives + builders spent 24 hours making films.
Semi-formal or formal attire is encouraged. And bring a prop from your favourite film, something small, something yours.
The day before, creatives and engineers whose credits span Netflix, Prime Video, and beyond gathered at Dogpatch Labs with a single brief: write, generate, shoot, score, and finish a complete short film in 24 hours. No placeholders. No demos. Real films, made with frontier AI tools, shaped by people who care about what ends up on screen.
Now you get to see what they made. Grab some popcorn.
Every film screens on the big screen. Five award categories, judged by people from across the creative and technical worlds, with the results announced on the night.

Before Sunset
Hi all,
Our *‘Before’* Triology continues on **Sunday April 19th at 4pm** with the screening of **Before Sunset.**
Before Sunrise ended with a promise that its sequel reveals was not kept. Nine years after Vienna, Jesse, married with a son, is giving a reading in a Paris bookshop of the novel he wrote inspired by his encounter with Céline when she appears.
Their time once again limited by Jesse’s travel arrangements, the two walk the streets, resuming their conversation, acknowledging the changes in their lives while recognising the profound effect their one night together had on their lives and relationships.
Screening is taking place in screen 1 and early booking is advised.
I’ll be in the foyer from 3.30pm with my purple baseball hat.
See you all there,
Martin

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: THE CHRISTOPHERS vs NORMAL at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event:
THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s
NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
