🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub!** 🍻 Hey there! 🌟 We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub*. It's a relaxed evening at The Windmill, our go-to spot for tech chats and good vibes. We have been running for 3.5 years, and it's always a joy to see familiar faces and meet new folks. Whether you're a regular, a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink (and maybe some pizza) on a Friday evening. 📍 **Where:** The Windmill, 27 Tabernacle St, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4DE 🕕 **When:** From 6 PM on the 3rd Friday of every month! **House Rules:** * Find Oliver, Pedro, Rob, or the other Rob (or anyone in a burgundy T-shirt) to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub isn't reserved exclusively for us, so we don't want you mingling with someone's birthday party by mistake! * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation. Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

Join us to network and grab a drink or a meal. We will have a space dedicated for our group. Looking forward to seeing you! This months topic is Top AI hacks for productivity

London girlies… we’re doing it 🇬🇧✨ I’ll be in London **May 14–18**, and I’m hosting the **first-ever [Girlies in Tech dinner](https://luma.com/girliesintechdinner) in London**. If you’re a **designer, engineer, PM, founder, student, intern, or just generally a woman working in tech**, I’d love to meet you. These dinners are meant to be small, relaxed, and actually social — the goal is to meet new people and hopefully leave with a few new friends in tech. 📍 Dinner will be at **Agrodolce London**, a cozy Italian spot in **Fitzrovia** right in the **West End**. Think a little **West End girl energy.** It’s super easy to get to — just a short walk from **Goodge Street Station** on the Northern Line, and there are also tons of buses nearby. If you’re a student at University of London, senior level techie, live around the West End, or just want to come into town for dinner, you’re very welcome. A few quick details: 🍝 **Small dinner (11 seats total)** 🗓 **May 16, 2026** 💸 **Pay your own meal** (RSVP is free) These dinners have been a **hot commodity in the U.S.** — they’ve sold out quickly in **New York City**, **Chicago**, and **Washington, D.C.** — so I’m excited to finally bring one to London. Seats are limited, but if you’re interested, RSVP and come join us for a cozy Italian dinner with other women in tech. And if this one fills up quickly… I’ll definitely plan another London meetup in the future. If you have any questions, feel free to [reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrdnhrrsn/) 💛

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!
