One exception to this is when AI comes into the game because it knows what it can do and when, with the right prompt. In this talk, we will learn how to design flexible and adaptable business logic for Angular applications. Our focus will be on integrating Firebase AI Logic to enable these applications to effectively respond to evolving requirements and dynamic business needs. **Bio:** I am a software developer, a Google Developer Expert for Angular, and the author of 2 successful books. I love to help other developers by unveiling their true potential and inspiring them. I have over 20 years of experience in coding with different technology stacks. Currently, I am specialized in front-end web development with the Angular framework where I have been officially recognized as a Google Developer Expert. I build awesome web applications that users love to use, and I train web developers how to build their own apps by enforcing best practices and writing code that is readable and testable. **—--** ## **Dimitris Kaklamanis** **Title:** Prompt to production: Angular development using Claude Code & MCP **Duration:** 35’ **Desc:** What if you could describe a feature in plain text and watch it become Angular code in seconds? In this talk, we'll explore how Claude Code, combined with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), is changing the way we build Angular applications. From scaffolding components and services to debugging, refactoring, and integrating with external tools - all from your terminal. Expect live demos, practical patterns, and lessons learned from real-world usage. Whether you're a skeptic or an early adopter, you'll walk away with a clear picture of what AI-assisted development can and can't do today. **Bio:** Dimitris Kaklamanis is a Lead Software Engineer at Code.Hub. With over 15 years of experience in front-end and full-stack development, his expertise spans Angular, React, Vue.js, Node.js, and PHP, enabling him to build scalable, high-performance applications across banking, fintech, and e-commerce. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Applied Informatics and has a strong passion for clean architecture, modern developer tooling, and AI-assisted workflows. Dimitris has contributed to projects across multiple industries, helping teams deliver robust digital solutions.

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. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
