The Last Mile of Data: Bridging the Gap Between Warehouse and Business
**Hosted by Intercom’s Paul Vickers and Patrick Lindstrom**
Join us at the Intercom Dublin office for an evening focused on the "Last Mile" of data engineering—turning solid infrastructure into immediate business value.
Over the last two years, Intercom migrated to Snowflake and rebuilt our data foundations from the ground up, creating a trusted, high-quality layer of core data models. But we realized that great data is only useful if people can actually use it.
In this session, the Intercom Data team will share how we are moving up the value chain—going beyond static dashboards to build intelligent, interactive tools that empower our GTM teams.
**The Agenda:**
**Breaking the SQL Barrier: Scaling Insights with Claude & Snowflake**
Even with perfect data models, the "SQL Wall" often forces business leaders to wait in a queue for answers. We’ll demonstrate how we used Claude Code and Snowflake MCPs to remove this bottleneck, allowing non-technical users to query our Data Warehouse directly and create sharable artifacts of their analysis. See how we combined strict governance with an AI interface to turn "data tickets" into instant, self-serve answers.
**From Insight to Action: Building 'Cockpit' on Snowflake Container Services**
While chat enables exploration, some workflows require action. We will pull back the curtain on Cockpit, a full-stack application built by our Data Science team to help Relationship Managers optimize customer outcomes. Learn how we used AI-assisted coding ("vibe coding") to build the app and Snowpark Container Services to deploy it—proving that Data teams can build powerful software, not just reports.
**From Idea to Real-Time Fraud Detection in Snowflake ML**
In this session we’ll build a real-time fraud detection service end-to-end inside Snowflake. Starting from a natural language idea, we’ll use AI-assisted development to generate synthetic transaction data, explore patterns, and train an ML fraud model with Snowflake ML. We’ll then deploy it to Snowpark Container Services and expose a low-latency REST endpoint for live transaction scoring. You’ll leave with a practical pattern you can reuse for other real-time ML use cases such as credit risk scoring, real-time recommendations, or anomaly detection on operational data in Snowflake.
**Location**
Intercom office (near Stephens Green)

We'll be there from 6.30pm. Our first speaker will start at around 7pm.
**19:00 - Talk 1: The Invisible Thread: From Retail Data Breaches to Phone Scams.** by Vadym Melnychenko
How “Zombie Systems” in local shops become digital back-doors, why this is happening, and what a more secure “Retail Fortress” approach looks like.
**19:30 - Talk 2: Securing Originality - how do we protect the quality and authenticity of human thinking** by Kalyani Korpe
As universities are scrambling to respond to GenAI use and students pushing back, how are organisations protecting human thinking. Original thinking is an asset that needs governance, the same way we govern systems and data.

AI, Agents & NASA: An Evening with IBM Research
Welcome to an evening with IBM Research where we discuss AI, Agents, NASA and everything in between.
An event hosted by **IBM Research** \- PyData Ireland is excited to be a community partner\.
This is an inaugural **Open Source Science Dublin** meetup, where cutting-edge scientific research meets open-source technology, AI, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Expect **technical deep dives**, **cross-disciplinary conversations**, and (of course) **pizza** 🍕.
For this first event, we’re exploring one of the most exciting frontiers today: **agentic systems for scientific discovery**, and how autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems are transforming the way research is conducted, validated, and scaled.
You’ll see real-world systems in action, hear from both applied and research perspectives, and walk away with a clearer picture of how agents are moving from hype to scientific infrastructure.
## **Talks**
**Accelerated Knowledge Discovery at NASA: Building an Agentic AI Research Companion**
* **Speaker:** James Barry, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research
* **Description:** A practical look at NASA’s AKD platform: a chat-driven frontend orchestrating a multi-agent backend (planner + literature/data/code search) to turn questions into traceable, end-to-end scientific research—faster, more systematic, and with human oversight.
**Production-Ready AI Agents: Containerization, Sandboxes, and the LangChain Stack**
* **Speaker:** Fabio Lorenzi, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research
* **Description:** Building secure, scalable AI agents for industrial time series analysis using isolated code execution, LangGraph for agent orchestration, and FastAPI for production deployment—bridging foundation models and real-world maintenance workflows.
**Science in the Agentic Era: Structured Experimentation with *ado***
* **Speaker:** Michael Johnston, STSM, Discovery Systems; Manager, Next Generation Systems, IBM Research

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. 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.
