29th Meetup - AI Power in Talent Acquisition
Barcelona’s TA community is getting together to talk about what *actually works* when it comes to AI in TA. No hype, no fluff.
If you're curious about how teams are really using AI day-to-day (not just what vendors promise), this one’s for you.
In this meetup hosted by our friends at Factorial, we’ll learn how they are leveraging AI in Talent Acquisition.
[Raquel Fole](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raquelfole/?locale=en) and [Federico d’Alessio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/federicoda/) will show us how their team are using AI tools such as Gemini, Claude and others to reduce admin work, find new candidates and improve engagement with vibe-coded tools.
📍 **Details:**
* **Date:** May 12, 2026
* **Time:** 18:30–20:00 (event) + 20:00–21:00 (networking)
* **Location:** **New Factorial Office** — Carrer de la Llacuna, 56, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona ([map](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hqMptdwuvxqB9tmW6))
🤝 A great opportunity to connect with other TA professionals in Barcelona who are exploring the future of TA.
If you're in Talent Acquisition, People Ops, or just curious about AI in hiring, you should definitely join.

**🎵👤 Track 1**
**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**
🎤 **Bianca Cheng** **–** **Teaching AI to Make Music Like I Do**
Bianca is a musician, designer, and technologist (formerly at Apple and MIT Media Lab) who approaches engineering with a creative soul. She’ll be sharing her work with HeartMula, a project where she trained models on recordings of her own songs. Learn how she uses AI as a collaborative partner to explore new musical ideas while staying true to her unique creative voice.
🎤 **Arnab Dey & Marcel Alcoverro (UNITH) – Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline**
What does it actually take to turn an image into a real-time photorealistic human avatar? Arnab (Senior Research Engineer) and Marcel (Head of AI) will walk through the full engineering stack behind a live interactive avatar: from LLM-driven speech synthesis and autoregressive 3D motion generation to Gaussian Splatting rendering streamed at 60 FPS. This talk dives into the research models powering visual avatars, the hard latency trade-offs that shape every design decision, and what production MLOps looks like when your service is a human face.
**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**
**🖊️⚙️ Track 2**
**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**
🎤 **Xesca Alabart (Gluecharm) – Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI**
Why do most AI design tools give you code instead of editable design objects? Current tools like v0 or Bolt often leave designers stuck in a "prompt loop" - where even a minor layout tweak requires a new prompt rather than a simple click-and-drag.
Xesca, creator of Penpot Wizard, is pioneering a fundamentally different path. Her talk introduces a Vectorial AI-driven methodology that treats the canvas as a live environment rather than a code-generation target. By designing with AI and Vectorial Design as a structural foundation, Penpot Wizard generates native design objects—shapes, paths, and components—that designers can edit normally. It’s about moving past the prompt-only bottleneck to provide a functional, editable starting point for real-world UX.
🎤 **Gabriel Llauradó Queralt (Allianz Technology) - Investigator: A Multi-Agent System That Digs into Tickets**
Every Jira ticket hides a trail across code, databases, logs, and half-forgotten Slack decisions. Gabriel built Investigator using LangGraph, with specialist agents for code, DB, Jira, OpenSearch, Confluence, GitHub and Vision — Orchestrated by a Planner, Router, Critic and Evaluator that argue with each other until the evidence holds up. He'll walk through the architecture, the prompts that actually work, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and lessons learned making LLMs reason about real enterprise codebases.
**See you soon!**

Hola chi@s,
El 17 de mayo tenemos Luna Nueva en Tauro — la siembra del ciclo en uno de sus terrenos más fértiles.
La Luna Nueva es el inicio: algo se pone en marcha, consciente o inconscientemente, y sus frutos pueden tardar hasta 6 meses en revelarse. En Tauro, esa siembra tiene paciencia, tiene cuerpo, tiene raíz. La certeza tranquila de quien sabe que lo que vale la pena requiere tiempo. Lo que se inicia ahora quiere durar para ser disfrutado.
Nos reunimos el domingo 17 de mayo para hablar de ese momento — y después hacemos lecturas de carta express: 15 minutos por persona.
Se recomienda traer la carta natal en una web o app donde se vea con claridad. Si no sabes cómo obtenerla puedes usar carta-natal.es
¿Te animas?

Being the only researcher, or part of a small research team, often means carrying the weight of user advocacy entirely on your shoulders. The Barcelona tech ecosystem is fueled by fast-moving startups and agile product teams, but that reality can sometimes leave UX researchers managing backlogs and advocating for stakeholder buy-in without a massive support system.
Join us as we interview a panel of UXRs who have successfully built their company's research culture from within a lean team. We will dive into their firsthand experiences and talk through real-world playbooks for strategic roadmap influence. Expect thoughtful discussions on how to democratize your insights, scale your impact across the organization, and drive high-fidelity product decisions.
Whether you are a team of one or navigating the growing pains of a small team, bring your questions, your challenges, and your stories. See you there!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
