Quanti progetti Laravel iniziano “puliti” e dopo qualche mese diventano un labirinto di controller gonfi, chiamate statiche a Eloquent e business logic sparsa ovunque? Il problema non è il framework. È come organizziamo il codice. In questo meetup parleremo di **Architettura Esagonale (Ports & Adapters)** applicata davvero a Laravel — non teoria accademica, ma scelte concrete: interfacce, servizi, dependency injection e binding nel container. Vedremo come: * Separare il dominio dal framework * Rendere il codice più testabile (senza DB) * Ridurre l’accoppiamento * Strutturare un progetto che non odi tra due anni * Usare il Service Container di Laravel in modo intelligente Non sarà una lezione universitaria. Non sarà un talk dogmatico. Sarà un viaggio pragmatico dentro un problema che tutti abbiamo vissuto: **come evitare che il nostro progetto cresca nel caos.** Se lavori con Laravel, questo è il posto giusto per discutere approcci, mettere in discussione abitudini consolidate e portarti a casa spunti concreti da applicare nei tuoi prossimi progetti.

Ciao Pythonistas! 🐍 This month we shake things up with an incredible lineup. We have not one, not two, but three experienced developers who are now working as Engineering Managers, Heads of, or even VPs of Data, AI and Generative AI in large organisations. Not only that, but we're changing the format. This time, rather than a talk, we will engage in a panel - with open QA from the public about their experience, challenges and perspectives. Don't expect a one-sided panel: we will discuss themes ranging from data and AI governance, how to ship AI solutions that work in large enterprises and manage stakeholders, but also how to organise a team given how much GenAI and coding agents have changed the way we do our job. **Parvaneh Shiafiei, AI Manager @ TUI Musement** **Alberto Danese, Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics @ Nexi** **Marco Santoni, Data Platform and Engineering Manager @ TeamSystem** **Parvaneh Shiafiei** is an AI Manager with over 10 years of experience delivering AI solutions that drive real business impact. She currently works at TUI Musement in the travel industry, where she focuses on improving both internal and customer-facing processes through AI, developing and scaling solutions in production, including GenAI applications. Working closely with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, and business, she helps translate AI capabilities into practical solutions such as conversational AI for customer interactions, GenAI tools that streamline internal processes, and ranking and recommendation systems that improve product discovery. Before joining TUI, she spent several years in consulting, helping organizations across industries identify high-impact AI use cases and bring AI solutions into production. **Alberto Danese** is the Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics at Nexi, where he oversees the design and production of AI/ML systems for the digital payments sector, leading four teams across analytics and engineering. He has over 15 years of experience in data science applied to financial services. He is a Kaggle Competitions Grandmaster and regularly shares projects and insights on ML, AI, and data systems through talks, open-source projects, and his blog, *All About Data*. **Marco Santoni** is a Data Platform and Engineering Manager at TeamSystem, where he works on scalable data platforms, AI-enabled data products, and data governance architectures. Based in Milan, he is an active member of Python Milano community and co-host of the Intervista Pythonista podcast. He is also involved in education as Technical and Scientific Advisor at ITS Rizzoli, where he teaches data and software engineering topics. **🙏 Sponsors** A big thank you to **NumFOCUS** for supporting our community!

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
