This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady. DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!) ## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how. ## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices** In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when. Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem. Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

Welcome to lockpicking at Tog. Join us as we teach the various methods of picking and bypassing common locks in Ireland. All equipment provided. Warm clothes reccomended as the heating isnt the best.

Join us as we celebrate **International Earth Day!** Ecological sentiment is not something new; it has always been a part of our relationship with Mother Earth. In the 21st century, perhaps we have forgotten how to love the world we live in? Has our relationship with Nature become merely pragmatic, practical, and nearly utilitarian, instead of nurturing and meaningful? What we do not love, we can’t protect. Responsibility comes from the heart, which is why ancient wisdom reminds us that we belong to the world we live in and that we are a living part of a much greater cosmos. It is falling in love with that sense of belonging that will give energy and care to our actions for Mother Earth. **How to belong: Myths from Around the World** Step into our storytelling circle to hear ancient myths that have shaped the human-nature relationship for millennia. We will explore how different cultures have traditionally viewed their responsibility to the Earth. **How to transform everyday habits into sustainable actions!** Explore practical DIY cleaning solutions made from simple, eco-friendly ingredients. Join us to learn sustainable ideas that fit into your daily routine, from reducing waste to making small, impactful changes. Participate in our interactive sustainability stand designed to inspire small but important steps toward a healthier planet. Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint or simply want to live more sustainably, this stand offers actionable tips and hands-on inspiration. Because sustainability is not about losing something, it is about remembering our relationship with the living world. *We will meet in Dartmouth Square Park at 2pm.*

Welcome to the April'26 edition of PyData Ireland. This meetup is in association with Quantum Black, AI by McKinsey. Agenda for the day: * 17:30 – Arrival * 18:00 – Start of talks (Details below) * *Jitendra Gundaniya*: **Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner-Friendly)** * *Dmitry Sorokin*: **Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines** * 19:30 – Networking \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner Friendly) **Speaker Name and Designation:** Jitendra Gundaniya, Senior Software Engineer at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey **Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11) **Talk Description:** This talk shows how Kedro Builder, a visual drag-and-drop tool, can lower that barrier. We'll walk through building a simple agentic pipeline visually dragging LLM context nodes, connecting prompts and tools, and exporting a working Kedro project, all without writing boilerplate by hand. Think of it as a learning ramp: see the pipeline structure first, then dive into the code. **Key Takeaways:** * How a visual builder can make agentic pipeline patterns (LLM + prompts + tools → agent → output) more approachable for beginners * What `llm_context_node` is and how it simplifies GenAI pipeline creation in Kedro * A live walkthrough of building and exporting a GenAI pipeline using Kedro Builder * Where the visual approach helps (pipeline scaffolding, boilerplate) and where you still need code (agent logic, output schemas) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 2:** Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines **Speaker Name and Designation:** Dmitry Sorokin, Senior Machine Learning Engineer II at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey **Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/) **Talk Description:** This talk explores how traditional data & ML pipeline frameworks can be wrapped with an MCP server, enabling AI agents (e.g. LangGraph, Claude Code) to connect and manage pipelines programmatically. We’ll look at how this approach combines the deterministic nature of production data & ML workflows with the flexibility and reasoning capabilities of modern AI agents. **Key Takeaways:** * How to expose data & ML pipelines through an MCP server * How AI agents can orchestrate and manage existing workflows * A practical pattern for combining deterministic pipelines with agentic flexibility

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
