PaaS (Platform as a Service)

**They say May is the month of rebirth.** So, may we all gather again and recalibrate our collective oscillators. On **May 18**, we’re moving past the factory settings and diving into the human signal chain. **Connect Beyond the Preset** is an evening dedicated to the tools that make us move and for all the creators, builders, tinkerers, and the curious who know that the most powerful "plugin" in any studio is a fresh perspective. Move away from the isolated glow of your laptop screen and come into a space where conversation flows as freely as the voltage in a modular rack. **It is happening on:** **Monday, May 18 at 6:00 p.m. CET** **FORUM Factory, Besselstraße 13-14, 10969 Berlin** This time, we’re opening the floor to the people building the future of expression. Innovation isn't just about faster processors; it’s about deeper connections. We gather to bridge the gap between the code and the chord, between the builder and the player. This is a networking event in its truest sense. No stiff business cards or corporate bios. Just like-minded people from all areas of life, united by the passion for music and tech, sharing drinks, swapping ideas, and finding their next creative partner-in-crime. Whether you work in the music business, you're a founder, a musician, a developer, or simply someone who loves where music and technology meet, this evening is made for you. **FREE ENTRY. FREE DRINKS!** **Do not sleep on this!** **[RSVP HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **PRESENTATIONS** Expect an evening with local innovators on stage presenting the tools they’ve built to make music education more accessible, push the boundaries of music production, and create new ways of visual expression through music. The presentations are more like open-source conversations. Meet the local community members who are building bespoke tools and hear the stories behind them. No corporate sales pitches. Just raw, creative problem-solving and inspiration. **Presenter I** **Andreas Jacobi** (*CEO und Co-Founder,* [Audiotool](https://www.audiotool.com/) *)* Making music together is magic. For too long, software got in the way. Audiotool is the only DAW built for collaboration from the ground up — free, browser-based, real-time multiplayer. Now we’re opening the infrastructure — so the next generation of music tools can be built multiplayer, and the ones you already love can become it too. **Presenter II** **Aibek Mazhitov** (Founder [Vibely](https://apps.apple.com/uy/app/music-visualizer-vibely/id1528056717)) Aibek is an iOS developer by day and musician by night. He'll be presenting Vibely - a music visualizer app that lets artists and creators turn their audio into stunning visual content in minutes. Inspired by channels like Monstercat and Trap Nation, Vibely is used by creators with millions of followers on TikTok." **Presenter III** **Mohammad Tomaraei** (Founder of something new and special) Almost 40% of new songs on streaming platforms are AI-generated. Human creativity is at risk. That's why I’m building an interactive platform for learning music, singing, and dance through your favorite songs. You focus only on learning what matters to you. It analyzes each song, shows you how it’s built, teaches you how to perform it on instruments like guitar, piano, and drums, and gives real-time feedback as you practice. AI is optional as a personal coach that explains things in a way that makes sense to you. **Presenter IV** **David Pocknee** presents a prototype of [Chordite](https://davidpocknee.ricercata.org/funis/index.html) \- a composition\-first music environment\, inspired by video games\. It is software for musical exploration and experimentation\, designed to live alongside and communicate with your DAW\. It provides space to craft music in new ways\, using 3D graphics\, game controllers\, and musicologically\-informed interfaces\. **LET OTHERS PLAY WITH YOUR TOOL - LIKE FRANK** We will set up tables on which you can place your laptop, speakers, synth, or other hardware, etc. to let the meetup attendees play with it. Like Frank Hahn. He will present [Kreuzberg Audio](https://kreuzberg-audio.com) , a Berlin-based plugin forge building tools for modern electronic music production. At the meetup he'll show three of them: KREATUR (premiere), an AI-powered music production tool that puts generative AI to work as a creative instrument without taking control out of the producer's hands; KA-303, the freshly updated acid synthesizer with a dynamic 32-step pattern grid, polyrhythmic page system, MIDI import and five groove engines; and Reecer Synthesizer, the flagship in free public beta with a triple oscillator engine, 29 filters from Moog Ladder to Polivoks, a quad distortion chain, and a composing section with 150 patterns. You can do this to. Just send us a message here.🙌 ——————————————————————————————————- **WALL OF OPPORTUNITIES** A big piece of paper, pinned to a wall with space for everyone to leave a note. Whether you are looking for a project partner or want to offer your skills and services. **AN EVENT FOR EVERYONE** Whether you are interested in learning more about music, tools for artists, new technologies, music communities, entrepreneurship, or just hanging out with the local Berlin music tech community, this event is for you. **DRINKS** are free **ENTRY** **is free**, but RSVP is **mandatory** **Please 👉 [REGISTER HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** *We are grateful that the [Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises](https://www.berlin.de/sen/wirtschaft/en/) provided us with some funding for this event.*

We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink. Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts. S,U Bahnhof Zoo, Kantstraße 163-165, 10623 Berlin, Motel One Upper West, 10th floor, exit lift to the right, turn left, circumvent the sign "vorübergehend geschlossen" Go justs there.

Nach vielen guten Gesprächen in unseren wöchentlichen Werkbankgesprächen wollen wir diesmal bewusst disruptieren und uns in entspannter Runde persönlich treffen. Statt Bildschirm und Zoom-Link gibt es dieses Mal einen Stammtisch im Biergarten: locker, offen und ohne feste Agenda. Im Mittelpunkt stehen der persönliche Austausch, das Wiedersehen abseits des Online-Formats und gute Gespräche mit Menschen aus der Community. Eingeladen sind alle, die schon länger dabei sind, genauso wie Menschen, die unsere Meetup-Reihe einfach einmal in Präsenz kennenlernen möchten. Ihr müsst nichts vorbereiten und es gibt keinen inhaltlichen Input-Block – kommt einfach vorbei, bestellt euch etwas und setzt euch dazu. Was euch erwartet: • spannende Gespräche rund um Cynefin und weitere Themen • eine entspannte Athmosphäre in lockerer Runde • keine Agenda außer Ort und Start :-) • einfach ein netter Abend mit der Community Wichtig: • Das ist ein informelles Treffen, kein Workshop und kein Vortragsabend. • Der Biergarten ist unser Treffpunkt; genaue Infos zu Ort und Uhrzeit findet ihr in den Eventdetails. • Im Biergarten gibt es keine reservierbaren Tische - **wir treffen uns rund um das Cynefin Hexi Kit auf einem der Tische**. • Bei schlechtem Wetter schauen wir, ob wir nach innen ausweichen können oder geben rechtzeitig ein Update. Wir freuen uns auf einen schönen Abend in entspannter Atmosphäre – und darauf, die Online-Runde einmal offline zusammenzubringen.

We are excited to feature **Christopher Summerfield**, who is currently a Professor at **University of Oxford** and will discuss "**AI and Human Agency**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.** Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free. **Who is this event for?** This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning. **Abstract**: As AI systems become integrated into every aspect of our lives, a key challenge is to ensure that they are built to empower, rather than to disempower humans. I discuss the nature of human agency, and the ways that it is enhanced or degraded by technology. I summarise recent evidence which has explored how humans are empowered or disempowered when they interact with conversational AI systems. I conclude by talking about potential technical solutions for enhancing human agency using AI. **Bio**: CS is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, and a Research Director at the [UK AI Security Institute](https://www.aisi.gov.uk/ "https://www.aisi.gov.uk/"). His work focuses on understanding the [cognitive and neural mechanisms](https://humaninformationprocessing.com/publications/ "https://humaninformationprocessing.com/publications/") that underlie human learning and decision-making, and on studying the [impacts of AI on society](https://humaninformationprocessing.com/publications_AI/ "https://humaninformationprocessing.com/publications_AI/"). His research bridges the fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. He is particularly interested in how insights from human cognition can inform the development of more advanced and safer AI systems. We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning.

But once you succeed and need to scale, your original frontend architecture might not be ready for what comes next. As our Sales Process Orchestration Platform expanded to support multiple products and sales channels, our original monolithic application became a bottleneck.* *In this talk, I'll share how we transitioned to a domain‑driven, multi‑app architecture while deliberately keeping a single React codebase. You'll see how we applied Domain‑Driven Design concepts on the frontend, structured clear boundaries between sales channels, and used Nx to orchestrate builds, enforce architecture rules, and keep teams moving independently without losing shared foundations.* **➡️ React Native in 2026: Not Your Daddy’s React Native - [Conor Lamb](https://www.linkedin.com/in/conorobrienlamb/)** *React Native has changed a bunch, and if you haven't looked at it lately you're in for some fun. We'll walk through building a real app with (my beloved 😍) Expo. Talk about project setup to app store submission with detours into AI-assisted development and ofc, talk about the casual masochism that is mobile dev.* **➡️ The Fourth Platform: How Vega Got Us Surprisingly Close to "Write Once, Run Everywhere" - [Bogdan Plieshka](http://linkedin.com/in/gotbahn/?skipRedirect=true)** *"Write once, run everywhere" is a promising goal in software development, but one that often breaks down under real-world problems. At Zattoo, building streaming applications across Android, Apple, and Web meant years of separate native stacks that were not aligned, and therefore did not scale. This talk explains how moving to a multiplatform architecture, enabled by Vega as a fourth (React Native first platform), brought us very close to achieving that goal.* — **👍 Code of Conduct** By registering for this event you agree to comply with our [CoC](https://portal.gitnation.org/coc) **📩 Contact** events@gitnation.org [https://twitter.com/ReactSummit](https://twitter.com/ReactSummit) [https://bsky.app/profile/reactsummit.gitnation.org](https://bsky.app/profile/reactsummit.gitnation.org) [http://youtube.com/ReactConferences](http://youtube.com/ReactConferences)

In May, [Bruno Caballero](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um) will show us how to target hardware accelerators from Java with MLIR based on [his fork of the OpenJDK Project Babylon](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um/openjdk-babylon-mlir-tosa). Bruno leads the Java Virtual Machines Engineering team at [MicroDoc](http://www.microdoc.com), which develops JVMs and maintains ports across various processors and operating systems. In this talk, we’ll explore a toy project that translates Java code into MLIR for the TOSA dialect, which is used for AI and accelerator workloads. We’ll briefly introduce current approaches (e.g., TornadoVM and Babylon/HAT), before looking at how this project reuses existing compiler infrastructure instead of building new backends. Finally, we’ll touch on whether DSLs should be embedded in general-purpose languages like Java or designed as standalone languages. Small snacks and drinks will be available. There is always space for outside topics and discussions. If you have specific questions, please bring them. Looking forward to meeting everyone again!

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!
