MEL MLOps Community #18 | Data, Decision and Agentic AI Productivity Paradox
We are stoked to announce our next **Melbourne MLOps Community Meetup** of the year!
We are bringing you an absolute powerhouse lineup featuring two industry heavyweights. We will dive deep into tracking ML/DS performance using high-impact business metrics over raw statistical metrics. We will also tackle the AI coding productivity paradox and the high-stakes build-vs-buy SaaS dilemma.
**🎤 Speakers**
We’re thrilled to introduce:
**\- Nathanael Lampe**, Machine Learning Manager *at* Bunnings Warehouse. Nat is widely recognised as one of the most brilliant, deeply technical data science leaders. He brings an elite background in advanced data science, now driving the core Data Science team at Bunnings. In his talk, *Data & Decisions,* Nat will explain how in ML, we often focus on model accuracy but it’s a lot harder to measure the decisions a model supports. When we can anchor our ML practice in true business metrics, we are better equipped to ensure analytics projects succeed.
**\- Javier Candeira**, Fractional CTO *at* Infoplumbing.
Javier is a distinguished veteran of the data, software, and tech consultancy scenes. He brings many years of battle-tested technical and business experience to guiding teams through today's volatile AI landscape.
His talk titled: *The Buy/Build Dilemma and the Agentic Productivity Paradox* addresses three red-hot issues in the MLOps community:
1\. Local LLM inference and tooling for small scale teams\. What is too much local MLOps for a 1\-5 person shop? Is local inference only a cost saver\, or are there also capabilies unlocked by the finer\-grained control afforded by operating one’s own models?
2\. The Buy/Build dilemma\. This is a question for every company\, from small SaaS to big corporate\. The abundance of LLM coding tools shifts the balance\. How?
3\. The Productivity Paradox: If Agentic Coding and LLM autocomplete are so great\, where are the great new products? Where’s the programmer productivity going?
Javier will showcase some of his NixOS-based MLOps-for-one tools, and will attempt to progress the conversation on these three questions with his own reflections based on personal experience.
**Networking**
The Melbourne MLOps Community is committed to fostering a space where AI/ML engineers and practitioners can connect, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships.
Come ready to discuss:
* The tools you’re experimenting with
* Trends you’re seeing in ML and MLOps
* Challenges you’re tackling
* Ways to find peer support
We’ll have food, drinks, and the perfect space for great conversations — so feel free to bring along anyone interested in ML, MLOps, or AI more broadly.
**Agenda**
🍕 **5:30pm** – Networking, drinks & food
🙋 **6:00pm** – Welcome
🎤 **6:10pm** – Presentation by Nathanael
❓ **6:30pm** – Questions for Nathanael
🎤 **6:40pm** – Presentation by Javier
❓ **7:00pm** – Questions for Javier
🍻 **7:10pm onwards** – Networking, drinks & food
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
**P.S.** If you can’t make it in person, we’ll be streaming the event via Google Meet.

What Breaks When AI Picks Up: Lessons from Voice AI in Australian Healthcare
**What Breaks When AI Picks Up:**
**Lessons from Voice AI in Australian Healthcare**
181 commits. 10 weeks. 28% were fixes.
In this session, Dr Kevin Ong, Co-Founder, CEO and CTO of Voral.ai, and Principal AI Consultant at Equal Experts Australia, shares what really broke when AI was deployed on a live phone line handling patient calls in Australian healthcare practices. From phantom bookings and four-second silent gaps that no unit test could catch, to race conditions where callers were simultaneously handled by multiple AI agents - this wasn’t theory, it was production reality.
No polished architecture diagrams. Just hard won lessons from the fixes that followed.
**Agenda**
5 30 PM - Gates open (Networking drinks & food)
6 15 PM - G-EE-K Talk
7 PM - Q&A
7 15 PM - Networking drinks (and more food)
8 30 PM - Wrap up

'Sticky' Storytelling: Making Messages Memorable
**Sticky stories are memorable, meaningful, and magnetic. They make people feel something — and that’s what makes them powerful.**
You already tell stories — to friends, family, co-workers, and peers. You might need to inspire your team, persuade a colleague to support your ideas, or influence a client to say yes. But if your stories aren’t *sticky*, your message won’t land. It won’t be remembered. And it won’t drive action.
Mastering the art of ‘sticky’ storytelling is one of the most valuable communication skills in today’s world. And the good news? It’s a skill anyone can learn.
**THIS IS A CURATED GUEST EVENT**
Whether you're new to public speaking or looking to elevate your influence and impact…
Join us tonight at Port Melbourne Toastmasters as we dive into the principles of powerful storytelling that make messages truly stick.
Get ready for a session that will help you speak with heart, connect with purpose, and leave a lasting impression.
*Guests, Meetup Group members, and visiting Toastmasters attend for free.*

Jul 1 | Game On — The KISMETRIX Trivia Night — Konar Bar
## 💘 KISMETRIX \| True Connection
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/july-01-game-on-the-kismetrix-trivia-night-konar-bar-tickets-1991902868099)
### GAME ON — THE KISMETRIX TRIVIA NIGHTDrinks, Banter & Real Connection
Hosted by **KISMETRIX \| True Connection**
📍 Konar Bar — Private Dining Room (Downstairs): 483 North Road, Ormond Vic 3204
📅 Thursday, 28 May 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Venue open late)
#### BACK. UPGRADED. AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.
Never done trivia? Perfect. Neither has half the room.
This isn't about what you know. It's about who you end up laughing with by the end of the night.
The KISMETRIX Trivia Night is back — and this year we've stepped it up. We now have our own in-house host and an exclusive private room just for Kismetrix guests. Same great energy from last year, but more intimate, more personal, and a whole lot more fun.
No speed dating. No awkward mingling. No standing around with a drink wondering what to say. Just teams, trivia, a bit of friendly rivalry, and the kind of atmosphere where strangers become easy company.
#### 💫 ABOUT THE NIGHT
Tired of the same old bar scene? Not quite ready for a formal dinner event? This is the sweet spot.
KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, and a genuine good time\. The Trivia Night is our most fun and relaxed format\, and it's exclusively for Kismetrix guests\.
You'll walk into a private room full of people who:
🎯 Are open, friendly and easy-going
🎯 Want a fun night out that feels natural — not forced
🎯 Prefer real-life connection over swiping
🎯 Are simply here to enjoy themselves and see where the night goes
Come for the trivia. Stay for the laughs. See who you meet along the way.
#### 🎯 WHAT TO EXPECT
You'll arrive to a private room — no general public, just Kismetrix guests. You'll be placed into a small team of around six, the questions will start, and within ten minutes you'll forget you didn't know anyone when you walked in.
Expect:
🎯 A welcome drink waiting when you arrive
🎯 A warm hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost
🎯 Fun, accessible trivia rounds — no expertise required
🎯 Rotating teams through the night so you meet different people across different rounds
🎯 A mystery round (yes, really)
🎯 A prize worth playing for
🎯 Plenty of laughs, friendly arguing, and genuinely good company
Our in-house Kismetrix host keeps the energy warm and the night moving — so it always feels like a night out with good people, not a structured event.
#### 👥 AGE GUIDE
🎯 30-43 · 40–53 · 50+
Kismetrix Trivia Night is open to all singles who are here for a good time and genuine connection. We provide age groups so you know what to expect from the room. The focus is always on good energy and like-minded people — not strict age gates.
If you're slightly outside a range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book.
#### 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR
This event is for singles who:
🎯 Want a fun, social night out that's a little different
🎯 Are curious about Kismetrix but want a low-pressure way to start
🎯 Love trivia — or have never done it but like the sound of it
🎯 Want to meet new people without it feeling like a "singles event"
🎯 Are open, friendly, and ready for a genuinely good Thursday night
Come solo — most people do. You'll be in good company from the moment you walk in.
#### 🍽 FOOD & DRINKS
Your ticket includes one standard welcome drink on arrival.
Konar Bar has a great food and drinks menu available throughout the night, directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do.
#### 🎟 TICKETS
🎯 Early Bird — $39
🎯 General — $49
🎯 Last Minute — $59
Welcome drink included at every tier. Spots are strictly limited to 7–8 tables to keep the night intimate and social — early booking is strongly recommended.
*Last year's event sold out. Don't sit on it.*
#### 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS
🎯 No swiping. No apps. Just real people in a real room
🎯 No awkward formats or forced interactions
🎯 A genuinely fun night — even if you come solo
🎯 Exclusively for Kismetrix guests — private room, warm atmosphere
🎯 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels
Many guests come "just to try it" — and end up staying all night.
#### ✨ WHERE THE TRIVIA NIGHT FITS
The KISMETRIX Trivia Night sits alongside our Drinks Socials, Elevated Dinners, and Activity Nights as one of our most fun and accessible formats. If you've been curious about Kismetrix, this is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience what we do.
#### 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES
🎯 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating
🎯 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue
🎯 Gender balance is carefully aimed for but not always guaranteed
🎯 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential at all Kismetrix events
🎯 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable

Women in Cloud - Governance, Security & Insights
Join us for an evening of learning, networking, and knowledge sharing as we explore how organisations create secure, well-governed cloud environments.
Our speakers will discuss practical approaches to identity governance, cloud security, and business-driven decision making, sharing real-world experiences and lessons learned along the way.
Whether you're working in cloud, security, business analysis, or just keen to expand your knowledge, we'd love to see you there!
**Topics:**
**1\. Multi\-Cloud Identity Governance: Reducing Risk Through Ownership\, Lifecycle\, and Assurance**
In this session, we will be exploring how managing identity and access becomes more complex in multi-cloud environments due to the rapid growth of identities, systems, and permission models, and how identity governance brings structure, visibility, and control through three key principles - ownership (clear accountability for identities and access), lifecycle (managing access from creation to timely removal), and assurance (continuously validating that access remains appropriate and secure) to help reduce risk, improve control, and enable secure, scalable operations across modern distributed environments.
**About the speaker**
[Amitha Shree](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amithashree/) is an Identity Governance Manager at nbn® Australia.
**2\. Business Analysis with AWS Security Services: GuardDuty\, Security Hub and IAM Access Analyzer**
Business analysis enables change within an organisation by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. When applied to AWS security, it ensures services are purposefully aligned to the organisation's risk appetite, strategic goals, and compliance obligations. It transforms Amazon GuardDuty from a threat detection tool into a quantifiable risk reduction investment, elevates AWS Security Hub from a technical dashboard into an executive-facing compliance reporting engine, and repositions IAM Access Analyzer from a policy scanner into a governance framework that protects against the most common causes of cloud breaches. Together, business analysis connects all three services into a coherent, measurable, and business-driven security strategy that enables organisations to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
**About the speaker**
[Hazra Ali](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hazra-ali-a3777297/), a Business Analyst at WorkSafe Victoria, has more than 12 years of experience in Information Technology specialising in banking and finance sector in business analysis, software development, incident management and customer service.
**Agenda:**
**5:30pm** – Food and networking
**6:00pm** – Presentation 1. Multi-Cloud Identity Governance: Reducing Risk Through Ownership, Lifecycle, and Assurance
**6:40pm** – Presentation 2. Business Analysis with AWS Security Services: GuardDuty, Security Hub and IAM Access Analyzer

Sunday Reset: Walk, Talk & Brunch
Ease into your Sunday with a calm walk, meaningful conversation, and brunch with new people.
This event is all about slowing down, getting out of the house, and connecting with others in a relaxed setting. We’ll start with a casual walk at the Fitzroy Markets so conversations can happen naturally, then continue the morning over brunch.
It’s perfect if you want to meet new friends without the pressure of a big social event. You can come by yourself, bring an open mind, and let the conversation unfold. We’ll include a few simple BeSocial prompts to help break the ice and make it easier to get to know each other.
Whether you’ve had a busy week, recently moved, or just want to build more real-life connection, this is a gentle way to reset and start the week feeling more connected.
**Perfect for:** brunch lovers, Sunday walkers, people who prefer small groups, and anyone looking for genuine conversation.
To help you get the most out of the event, we ask that you download our app before you arrive (or upon arrival). The app will be used throughout the event for prompts, activities, and other interactive content so having it ready will ensure you can fully participate.

**Ride**:
This is a social pace ride that we did last in May '25.
I have modified the route a little from last time which you may notice if you came then.
We take a variety of paths and bike lanes to arrive in Sunshine from the north where we'll find another "Cow" sculpture by the same artist 🐄 as in Docklands.
We'll return a shorter & faster way on Sunshine Rail Trail and Dixon Veloway.
Coffee stop in Sunshine: The shops are mostly Vietnamese out there so take the chance to try something different, perhaps? They do make a good cappuccino coffee as I found in my recce ride ☕
**Getting to town:** Do check if your train into town has any disruptions, won't you? (Southern Cross is the closest station to our starting point) https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/disruptions/disruptions-information/ or

How to Be a Better Communicator - Free Seminar
How to be a Better Communicator
Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

NFT's are here to stay folks!
This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more.
**PLUS**
This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.
