Domain Driven Design

**Registration Instructions:** Meetup RSVPs are closed - to attend, you must register on the [Luma event page.](https://luma.com/2talb3jk) **Agenda** 6:00-6:30 PM Arrivals and Networking 6:30-7:00 PM Tech Talk #1 7:00-7:30 PM Tech Talk #2 7:30-8:30 PM Networking & Wrap-up 8:30 PM Tear-down and Departures ​**Talk #1:** *I Built a $15/Month AI Advisory Board (And It Called Me Out)* \- Jacintha Kurniawan\, Co\-founder and AI Product Manager at Bridge AI Knowledge ​Using commodity tools, I built a multi-agent AI system for <$20/month and created a "CEO-in-the-loop" architecture: agents collect data, detect patterns, then four RAG-based advisors to argue with each other in Discord threads. I read their debates, make decisions, and an executor agent builds my calendar. My key insight was that if advisory agents agree, the system is useless; disagreement is the feature. ​ This talk breaks down the full technical architecture, the cost model that will scales from $15/month to production, why I designed agents to argue instead of agree, and the counter-intuitive discoveries (why the first 15 minutes matter more than the next 4 hours). ​ **Talk #2:** *Building Agents That Know: Knowledge-First Design for AI Systems* \- Andrew Berry\, Sr\. Data Scientist at Bell Media ​ Most AI agent projects start in the wrong place: with tools and architecture. This talk inverts that approach and shows how reliable agents emerge from well-designed knowledge and context, not bigger models. We'll explore simple patterns for structuring what an agent knows, what it needs right now, and what should persist over time, and why simpler context design often beats complex architectures. ​ **About the Speakers:** ​[Jacintha Kurniawan ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacintha-kurniawan/)is a co-founder and AI Product Manager at Bridge AI Knowledge, where she designs and ships AI agent systems for regulated industries, creative agencies, and retail. Her work focuses on translating ambiguous, high-stakes requirements into production-ready AI in environments where trust, compliance, and adoption are critical. She is a TEDx speaker on the Economy of Trust and hosts The Deep Dive Lab, a podcast featuring 50+ conversations with AI leaders, ethicists, and operators on building pragmatic, responsible AI. ​ Jacintha holds an MBA and brings a cross-functional background spanning AI startups, data analytics at Canadian Tire, and supply chain logistics. Her recent work includes leading an automated conformity platform for a Canadian real estate regulator—processing 500K+ transactions across 200+ agencies while maintaining Law 25 compliance—and developing AI products that measurably reduce operational effort. She recently led product and technical development of Eterna, a voice AI agent for peri- and menopausal health that won first place at a hackathon by prioritizing empathy-driven conversational design. ​[Andrew Berry](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berrya/) is a Senior Data Scientist II at **Bell Canada**, where he works on applied AI and agentic systems across conversational AI, intelligence platforms, and context-aware automation. His work focuses on building reliable, production-ready AI systems and exploring how knowledge, context, and system design shape trustworthy AI behavior in real-world enterprise environments. ​ Andrew is also an experienced podcast host and public speaker, having founded and hosted *The Pandemic Job Hunt* and *The Little Big Ideas Show*. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University with a major in Information Systems and a finance concentration, and has completed formal training in data science and product management, bringing a rare blend of technical depth, business context, and communication to his work in AI. ​**Many thanks to our supporters and sponsors!** We'd also like to acknowledge our venue partners, [Highline Beta](https://www.highlinebeta.com/) for generously providing their amazing space for the event, and [PRAKTIKAI ](https://www.praktikai.com/)for making the event happen. ​​ **Speak or Support MLTO!** We are constantly looking for new speakers and sponsors to share their knowledge and help build the AI community in the GTA!

They're trapped by something far more powerful - a deep-seated reality addiction around money and success. You've built a solid coaching business. You have testimonials that prove your value. Your clients get real results. Yet somehow, consistent $10K+ months remain frustratingly out of reach. Every time you get close to breaking through, something happens: * You discount your rates when a potential client hesitates * You overdeliver to justify your prices * You feel a nagging discomfort when thinking about charging more * You work harder instead of leveraging what's already working The problem isn't your coaching ability. It's the unconscious stories you believe about wealth that create unnecessary friction in your business growth. What "Reality Addiction" Is Costing You Reality addiction is the unconscious belief that your current financial ceiling is "just how things are" for coaches like you. It's the voice that whispers: *"Making more means working more."* *"If I charge premium rates, I'll price out the people who need me."* *"Successful coaches are just better at selling than I am."* These limiting beliefs aren't just in your head — they're actively sabotaging your business decisions, creating a cycle where: * You undercharge for your services * You overwork to compensate * You feel resentful about the imbalance * You burn out before reaching your goals I know because I was stuck in the same cycle. Making $8K months but unable to break through to consistent five-figure months until I addressed my reality addiction around wealth and success. What You'll Discover in This Free Workshop Once you join you'll feel the tension in your chest release as you finally understand why making money has felt so difficult. During our 60-minute session, you'll experience: \- The exact moment you recognize the invisible reality addiction that's been holding your income back—and feel immediate relief knowing it's not your fault \- A profound shift as you see other successful coaches breaking through the same blocks that have kept you stuck \- The liberating feeling of having a clear path forward instead of pushing that boulder uphill every day \- The quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly which stories to release so you can finally command premium rates without the guilt When you apply the framework I'll share, you'll wake up feeling excited about your business again instead of exhausted by it.  “For the first time in my life, I felt valued and loved. This work changed everything.” \- Lynn D Security Coach  “He worked on my fear of success, which was blocking me from getting more clients. I felt a huge sense of relief the very next day and started getting inquiries about my services.” \- Nisreen M Reiki Master/Teacher Ready to Break Free From Your Reality Addiction? P.S.

Most Java developers have tried AI-assisted coding through chat interfaces or inline autocomplete. Useful — but limited. In this talk, we’ll explore the next step: agentic Java development using Claude Code. Instead of treating AI as a smarter text box, we’ll look at what changes when the model can reason across files, plan multi-step changes, interact with tools, and operate closer to how real developers work. This will be a practical, experience-driven session focused on: • How agentic coding differs from ChatGPT-style prompting and traditional Copilot usage • Where Claude Code fits (and where it doesn’t) in real Java projects • How tools, context, and workflows matter more than “prompt tricks” • How to avoid unstructured vibe coding while still moving faster No prior experience with agentic tools is required. The goal isn’t to sell a silver bullet — it’s to help Java developers understand what’s genuinely new, what’s hype, and how these tools can be used responsibly in real-world codebases. **About the venue** Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk. **Speaker Bio** Victor Szoltysek is a seasoned consultant and technologist, currently at RAVL, where he helps clients eliminate the inefficiencies of undifferentiated heavy lifting and focus on building solutions that drive real business value for their customers.

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

**Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the International Relations / Foreign Policy Group Columbus!** This group brings together students, professionals, academics, and anyone interested in global affairs, diplomacy, and geopolitics. Our first meetup will be an informal discussion focused on current international developments and global trends. This is a great opportunity to: • Meet others interested in international relations and foreign policy • Discuss current global events and geopolitical developments • Exchange perspectives and ideas in a respectful environment • Build a network of globally minded individuals in Central Ohio (Columbus and periphery) **Discussion topics may include:** * Strategic planning for the group and the way forward * US foreign policy priorities in 2026 * Major geopolitical developments (Europe, Asia, Middle East) * Global security and strategic competition * International economic and diplomatic trends No prior expertise is required—everyone is welcome, whether you're a student, professional, or simply interested in world affairs. **This will be a casual, friendly, and intellectually engaging conversation.** I look forward to meeting everyone and building a strong international relations / foreign policy community in Central Ohio.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
