Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

¿Dónde termina el código y empieza el producto? En esta edición de TechFems en las oficinas de [Edpuzzle](https://edpuzzle.com/) vamos a profundizar en la mentalidad de *Product Engineering* —donde el criterio prima sobre la velocidad de teclado— y a desgranar los retos reales de arquitectura y resiliencia que enfrentamos al integrar APIs de terceros. ¡Ven a compartir experiencias con otras ingenier@s y a debatir sobre hacia dónde va nuestra industria! ⚠️ **Acceso al edificio**: Es obligatorio completar este *[formulario](https://forms.gle/1S5WN3dtWsXVDxyr7)* para entrar ⚠️ 🚨 **RSVP Obligatorio:** Para asistir, reserva tu entrada en [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-tech-discovery-edpuzzle-tickets-1987791018446](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-tech-discovery-edpuzzle-tickets-1987791018446).

Integrating with 3rd party APIs is rarely as smooth as the documentation suggests. From unexpected timeouts and rate limits to silent failures and breaking schema changes, external dependencies are a primary source of system instability. In this session, we will dive into the most common failure modes when connecting to external services and discuss architectural patterns to build resilient, fault-tolerant systems that protect your core logic from the chaos of the outside world. 2️⃣ **Pensar como Product Engineer: más allá de escribir código (Charla en español)** 🎙️ [Iciar Puigpelat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iciar-puigpelat/), Head of Engineering & Product Manager en [Edpuzzle](https://edpuzzle.com/). La mejor línea de código que escribirás puede ser la que decides no escribir. En la era de la IA, las ingenieras que destacan no son las que programan más rápido, son las que de verdad quieren resolver los problemas de sus usuarias. En esta charla exploraremos por qué estas habilidades se han vuelto imprescindibles, y qué puedes hacer para desarrollarlas. **Idioma del evento** * Inglés y español. **¿Quién puede asistir?** * 👭 Este evento es abierto. * Si eres estudiante, profesional o estás en transición al sector tech, eres bienvenida. **Dirección** [Edpuzzle](https://edpuzzle.com/): Avinguda de Pau Casals\, 16 Ppal\. 1\-A\, 08021 Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/kaQ8KNEPFkiSuQfa9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kaQ8KNEPFkiSuQfa9) **Información sobre la venue:** * Acceso para sillas de ruedas. * Evento NO apto para niños. * Contaremos con equipo de fotografía/vídeo.

Organitzat pel Departament de Joventut de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona, amb la col·laboració d’Eix Fort Pienc i la participació de nombroses entitats frikis de la ciutat, l’esdeveniment omplirà el passeig d’activitats de 12 a 20 h amb un ambient festiu, creatiu i carregat de referències a la cultura pop, el manga, l’anime, la fantasia, els jocs de rol i de taula, el cosplay i molt més. Activitats durant tot el dia Al llarg de la jornada trobaràs una àmplia oferta d’activitats, parades i espais interactius: 🛍️ Botigues especialitzades com Takopá, Dashu, Gameria, Magic BCN, Norma Comics, o Yoomi, amb col·leccionisme, roba, llibres, còmics i merchandising. 🎲 Zones de jocs de taula i de rol, tornejos de Magic, videojocs, photocalls temàtics, signatures de llibres i activitats familiars. 🎬 Exhibicions com la coreografia de Star Wars, lluites amb sabres de llum, i sessions de Random Play Dance de K-pop. 🛡️ Academia Jedi, demostracions de SoftCombat, tallers creatius, espais per a il·lustradores i podcasts en viu. 🧙 Quedada de cosplay, amb personatges de fantasia, manga, ciència-ficció i molt més. Amb el suport d’entitats com StarFans, Eix Jove, SoftCombat Barcelona i moltes altres, el Dia de l’Orgull Friki és molt més que una festa: és un homenatge a la cultura friki com a espai de creativitat, comunitat i expressió lliure. 🎭 Fort Pienc Escena Friki: el nostre escenari friki Des d’Eix Fort Pienc estem encantats de participar en aquesta cita imprescindible amb una edició especial del nostre festival d’arts escèniques: Fort Pienc Escena Friki, la versió temàtica del ja consolidat Fort Pienc Escènik, que organitzem des de 2017. A la tarda dinamitzarem l’escenari principal amb una programació vibrant, plena de creativitat jove i talent local: Siguis mag, Jedi, otaku o aventurer galàctic… aquest diumenge el teu lloc és aquí. Vine amb el teu cosplay, el teu lightsaber o amb la teva passió friki i gaudeix d’un dia èpic al cor de Barcelona! T’hi esperem amb música, dansa, espectacles i una comunitat carregada de creativitat i bon rotllo. *** **[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda(a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern.

\*\*IMPORTANT! To participate - please register on[ Luma page](https://luma.com/wrs46b27)\*​ _______________________ What if the problem isn’t your experience, but the fact that people still don’t understand who you are, what you do, and why they should choose you? In a world where opportunities move through visibility, many talented people stay invisible not because they lack skills, but because they struggle to position and communicate themselves clearly. Join us for an honest conversation about personal branding, positioning and self-marketing. Without fake “guru” energy, corporate masks, or pretending to be someone you’re not. Hosted by Projector Global Community (by [@prjctr_institute](https://www.meetup.com/projector-global-community/)) in collaboration with [Xolo](https://www.xolo.io/es-es) this event is designed for professionals who want more career opportunities, stronger networks, better clients, and clearer communication around their expertise. Together, we’ll unpack: → Why strong specialists still get overlooked → How to position yourself without building a fake persona → The difference between your job title and your actual brand → Why self-promotion feels uncomfortable (and how to fix it) → How to create content people actually remember → Simple systems for visibility which don’t feel overwhelming And yes — we’ll also do a live “Roast My Profile” session, where volunteers can get direct, constructive personal brand feedback in front of the room. Slightly scary. Extremely useful. Probably iconic.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
