In this interactive session, Aditi Sharma shares her journey from writing her first production code at Oracle, to building systems at Goldman Sachs, spending nearly nine years at Amazon, and now leading two engineering teams at Monzo. Along the way, she'll explore a challenge many women in technology face: we're often much better at doing great work than talking about it. Drawing on research from Lean In and her own leadership experience, Aditi will lead a practical exercise to help attendees recognise, articulate, and celebrate their achievements with confidence. Whether you're writing your first Go program or taking your next career step, you'll leave with practical tools to own your accomplishments and invest in your growth. **Speaker Bio:** Aditi Sharma is an Engineering Manager at Monzo, where she leads two engineering teams building consumer-facing products and platform capabilities. Before joining Monzo, she spent nearly nine years at Amazon leading large-scale engineering initiatives, including customer-facing AI experiences, after beginning her career as a software engineer at Oracle and Goldman Sachs. Across every role, one thing has remained constant: the need to learn continuously. Passionate about helping engineers grow, Aditi enjoys mentoring, building high-performing teams, and encouraging others—especially women in technology—to recognise their achievements and pursue opportunities with confidence. **Learning Go with AI, whilst staying in the driver's seat** \| **[Cynthia Mbulu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-mbulu/) \| Software Engineer** Six months into learning Go at Monzo (and freshly back from my first GopherCon EU), I've gradually been figuring out how to use AI to learn this new language *with* me, rather than *for* me. In this talk I'll share: 1. the honest 1:1 with my onboarding buddy that made me re-think my learning workflow, 2. the value-vs-pointer-receiver bug that tripped me up and got me thinking about the nuances of Go vs JavaScript, 3. and lastly, the three tactics I now use to stay in the driver's seat If you're a new Gopher (or a career switcher in learning mode), you'll hopefully leave with a practical framework for using AI as a co-pilot (not the driver) and protecting the struggle that actually makes you a better engineer. **Speaker Bio:** Cynthia is a Software Engineer at Monzo and former NHS Hospital Pharmacist of 8+ years, who self-taught her way into tech in 2021 during the COVID pandemic. She's since built a varied career across the NHS, Accenture, the Financial Times, Gousto, and Monzo. In her spare time she documents her career-change journey on Substack ([healthtotech.substack.com](http://healthtotech.substack.com/)) and LinkedIn, partners with companies to help underrepresented groups build tech skills, and enjoys creating modern tech solutions for healthcare problems she lived through as a Pharmacist. \*\*\* 🙋‍♀️ **Want to help shape the future of Women Who Go (London)?** We're looking for enthusiastic new organisers to join our amazing team!

Please get in touch with the organisers with any questions or concerns. As always, there will be free food and drinks, generously provided by our host, Man Group. **Main Talks** 1. Itunu Ijila - **What AI Engineers Can Teach Python Developers** Itunu builds AI pipelines. She has shipped agents, automation workflows, and intelligence reporting systems. And she has done most of it without writing a single serious line of Python. In this talk she shares what building production AI systems with tools like n8n taught her about good engineering. Pipeline design, observability, fallback logic, cost awareness, and why these principles matter regardless of the tools you use. She will also show how the architecture behind AI workflows maps directly to the agent patterns Python developers are building today with frameworks like PydanticAI. This is a talk about systems thinking and how good engineering has no syntax. 2. Astha Gupta - **Beyond the Demo: What Nobody Tells You About Shipping AI at Scale** Everyone wants to talk about the model. In enterprise AI delivery, the model is rarely the hard part. Over the last few years Astha has led the delivery of AI platforms for Fortune 500 clients across energy, agriculture, and chemicals. The hardest problems were never algorithmic. They were getting the data in the first place, making sense of it, showing progress before anyone loses faith, and balancing the pressure to move fast with the need to build something that actually scales. This talk covers the full arc of what enterprise AI delivery actually looks like in practice. Getting data from large organisations is often the longest part of the entire project, and the EDA that follows surfaces assumptions that break everything you planned. Showing features early, before the formal UAT four months later, is what keeps projects alive. And the pressure to deliver fast in sprints that have no room for a month long feature is where most technical debt quietly accumulates. The latest chapter of this story is coding agents. They make you faster than ever. But in enterprise codebases where scalability is not optional and understanding what you built is not a luxury, speed without comprehension compounds into something much harder to fix. This is not generic software engineering. The constraints are different, the stakes are higher, and the lessons are hard won. 3.

**\*The date for this event has now changed, and will take place on Thursday 9th July\*** Join us on Thursday 9th July for our next AI Exchange event, hosted by Coralogix at their London HQ in Devonshire Square. **[Cato Networks](https://www.catonetworks.com/)** are applying AI to one of cybersecurity's most overlooked problems: the hidden risks buried within complex security policies. WeBuild-AI, kindly stepping in at short notice (again!) are using everyones favourite Simpsons character, Ralph Wiggum, to cut code afk, and why the human isn't going anywhere anytime soon.... Finally our hosts **[Coralogix](https://coralogix.com/)** are addressing a challenge many engineering teams are beginning to face: AI coding agents are becoming part of everyday development, but very few organisations have visibility into how they're actually performing. As always, doors open at 6:30pm and talks start at 7pm sharp. We have another tight capacity for this event, so please RSVP as soon as you can to secure your space. **Agenda:** **[Lewis Isaac](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewisjamesisaac/) @ [Coralogix](https://coralogix.com/)** **Who’s Watching the Agents? Observability for AI-Assisted Development** Code agents are already in your engineering workflow. The problem is that most organisations still have no visibility into what those agents are actually doing. How many tokens are they consuming? How long are tasks taking? Are they introducing regressions? Are they measurably improving delivery, or just creating the feeling of progress? The gap between “we have AI tooling” and “we understand our AI tooling” is where most teams are stuck right now. In this talk, I will show you how OpenTelemetry can be used to instrument code agent workflows end-to-end, and how Coralogix Code Agents Observability brings all of those signals -token usage, cost, task duration, and code quality impact - into a single view. *Bio: Our speaker will be Lewis Isaac, Dev Relations @Coralogix bio Lewis is a Developer Advocate at Coralogix, where he works closely with developers to explore smarter approaches to observability and how deep technical telemetry can be connected to meaningful business and user outcomes. Prior to joining Coralogix, he was a Tech Lead at IBM, where he led the technical delivery of mobile application projects for clients including BP and a major UK bank.* **[Elena Vilimaite](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenavilimaite/) @ [WeBuild-AI](https://www.webuild-ai.com/)** **Cutting code afk - How Ralph Wiggum can help you do the work for you.** About the talk: The Ralph Wiggum loop is a deceptively simple idea: point an agentic coding pipeline at a plan and let it cycle, implement, review and fix on repeat, with no hands on the keyboard. In this talk I'll walk through three real runs of Ralph on my own codebase, from a 24 minute one-shot that shipped subtle bugs to a two and a half hour run where the agents actually caught and fixed their own mistakes. You'll see what made the difference (spoiler: it wasn't the loop), and why the human still isn't going anywhere just yet. **[Avidan Avraham](https://www.linkedin.com/in/avidan-avraham-04416498/) @ [Cato Networks](https://www.catonetworks.com/)** **Autonomous Policies Using LLMs to Sweep Up Misconfigs** Security policies and engines today are complex ecosystems - not just defined by rigid, structured configurations but also by many layers of free-text and meta-data that tell the real story behind a rule or a configuration. Traditional configuration analysis can flag obvious issues, yet it often overlooks the contextual “crumbs” left behind by temporary fixes, ad-hoc tweaks, or legacy testing exercises. These remnants, much like orphaned data in a software system, can create unexpected vulnerabilities that attackers are eager to exploit. In this talk, I introduce a pioneering AI-driven strategy inspired by the concept of a software Garbage Collector. Just as a Garbage Collector continuously cleans up memory leaks, our AI agent proactively sifts through the meta-configuration, analyzing unstructured fields—free-text names, descriptions, annotations, and even multilingual notes—to identify contextual misconfigurations before they evolve into high-risk liabilities. Advanced NLP is key: semantic analysis decodes the intent behind free-text entries, while contextual classification organizes policy components by interpreting diverse cues. This integrated approach detects anomalies that traditional tools may miss, shifting policy management from static settings to dynamic, context-rich narratives that reveal hidden security gaps. We hope to see you there for another great AI filled evening! **Sponsors...** The AI Exchange is brought to you in partnership with[ LinuxRecruit](https://www.linuxrecruit.co.uk/) and[ AWS.](https://aws.amazon.com/) LinuxRecruit is building the next wave of Tech Unicorns in Europe.

We are ecstatic to announce the return of the ODSC AI Skills Accelerator to London! Join the local data science and AI community for an exciting, exclusive evening supported by Snowflake. Dive into a cutting-edge technical session led by a Snowflake expert and connect with your peers over complimentary food and drinks. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your AI journey, this is the perfect place to learn, share, and network with fellow innovators. ## Featured Session **Speaker:** Teresa Nascimento, Senior Solutions Engineer at Snowflake [https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresanascimento/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresanascimento/) **Talk Title:** *Optimize your Agent’s GPA with Coding Agents* ``` In this talk, we will share how coding agents help developers build high quality agents faster. A key insight from building agents in production is that high quality agents operate with their goals, plans and actions aligned. We introduce the Agent Goal-Plan-Action or Agent GPA framework to capture this insight, which achieved state of the art benchmarks on TRAIL/GAIA with 95% error coverage and 86% error localization. This framework goes beyond examining the agent's final results to assessing the agent's process: Was the goal achieved efficiently? Did the plan make sense? Were the right tools used? Did the agent follow through? Without visibility into these steps, teams risk deploying agents that look reliable but create hidden costs in production. Inaccuracies can waste compute, inflate latency and lead to the wrong business decisions, all of which erode trust at scale. This approach to agent evaluation enables effective and fast optimization with coding agents. We will also show how to use coding agents to automate the process of measuring and improving an Agent's GPA by using agent optimization skills that take advantage of the GPA evaluation framework. By the end, attendees will be able to use coding agents and the GPA framework to identify common agent failures, improve their agent and make it ready for production. ``` Event Details * **Date:** Thursday, July 9th, 2026 * **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM BST * **Location:** Snowflake HQ, 3 Crown Place, London EC2A 4EF, UK * **Networking:** Enjoy pizza and refreshments 🍕🥂 included with your attendance!

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
