Pair Programming

**Hi Barcelona! 👋** How is AI fundamentally changing the way we understand our users and build our products? Join us for an evening of deep dives into the intersection of human psychology and AI-driven development at our Barcelona Hub. We are excited to host two of our Senior Product Designers, who will share their expertise on how design is evolving from static interfaces to intelligent, behavioural systems. 📅 Wednesday, May 20th 📍 eDreams ODIGEO Barcelona Office ⌚️ Check-in: 18:45 – 19:15 🕖 Presentations start at 19:10 🎤 **The Lineup:** 1️⃣ **Motivational Design in the Age of AI** Presented by **Denise Giorgio,** Senior Product Designer at eDreams ODIGEO. What truly drives digital engagement today? Denise will explore *human behaviour, digital engagement, and what AI makes possible.* 2️⃣ **Building AI with AI** Presented by **Ardwin Hernandez,** Senior Product Designer at eDreams ODIGEO. *"We are moving from designing interfaces to building intelligent systems—and AI is both the medium and the collaborator. In this talk, I’ll share how we built an AI Trip Planner by using AI itself across the entire process: from shaping the idea to generating UI, prototyping flows, and accelerating development. This is not just a case study, but a new way of thinking about product design—where designers evolve into AI builders."* **Networking & Drinks** After the talks, stay with us for some quality networking! It’s the perfect time to connect with the speakers, meet your peers in the Barcelona tech and design scene, and enjoy some pizza and drinks on us. 🎫 **Registration** The event is free, but space is limited. Please register to secure your spot! These Tech Talks are organised and hosted by eDreams ODIGEO, the world’s leading travel subscription platform and one of the largest e-commerce businesses in Europe.

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming event, organized in collaboration with Claude *Code Barcelona*, on **Wednesday, May 20**. 🎙️*Claude Code: Scaling AI Agents & Security in the Wild* **SUMMARY** We will be joined by **[Dror Asaf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drorasaf/)** (Co-Founder & CTO, Kovant) and **[Joaquín Gamiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaquin-gamiz)** (Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor). **🎙️ From Chaos to Marketplace: A Practical Guide to Sharing AI Agent Best Practices at Scale,** Dror Asaf As AI agents become central to development workflows, the real challenge is no longer adoption — it's **scaling them without letting knowledge become siloed** within individuals or teams. At Kovant, this challenge drove a progressive evolution: from ad hoc use in individual repositories to a central instructions repository, to a **dynamic skills system** that adapted to the context per project, ultimately culminating in an **internal plugin marketplace** that made sharing capabilities intuitive. Along the way, we discovered which simple approaches broke down at scale — and which solutions actually held up. This talk provides a **clear framework for managing agent knowledge** based on organizational maturity, along with practical lessons and actionable starting points for any team looking to consolidate **scattered knowledge into shared infrastructure**. **🎙️ Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor,** Joaquín Gamiz Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en **tareas de reconocimiento** y **fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team)**, y también como **apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team)**. Esta charla explora qué significa realmente ser hacker, desmontando mitos y conceptos erróneos, y se adentra en un **laboratorio práctico con Claude Code** — cubriendo su configuración, el contexto y las reglas de uso. Se introduce **MCP** como el mecanismo que permite a los modelos interactuar con herramientas, y se recorren distintos objetivos y metodologías de testing. A través de ejercicios prácticos, se muestra cómo **detectar vulnerabilidades en una web**, interpretar **resultados de Nmap** para priorizar riesgos y definir siguientes pasos, y finalmente cómo Claude Code también puede apoyar al **blue team** — demostrando su valor tanto en **escenarios ofensivos como defensivos**. With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.** **👥 Do you want to come along?** Share this invitation with all your contacts, or click the "share" button below. **WHEN:** Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 PM **WHERE:** Oficinas InnoIT Consulting, [C/ Diputació, 280, Bajos 2ª, 08009, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zC6Sf2jUogxauX317) **LANGUAGE:** English & Spanish **Join our [newsletter](https://www.inno-it.es/newsletter/)!** Don't miss out on upcoming events, exciting news and special job offers.

At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams. *By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)** A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team). This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios. *By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **InnoIT** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎉 ¡Ya está aquí nuestro siguiente evento!** Después del éxito del estreno, estamos encantados de anunciar el siguiente evento de Claude Code Barcelona. ¡No te pierdas estas dos charlas y su correspondiente networking, esta vez gracias a nuestro nuevo host, InnoIT! **⚠️** E**l aforo es limitado .** Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes.

For this month's Meetup, we are partnering with **ERNI** to offer two sessions about: **Scaling Python Analysis with Apache Airflow** and **Stopping an Epidemic using the Atomica package**. \-\-\- Schedule: * 18:30: Welcome * ️ 18:45: Talks * **&** 19:45: Networking, food and drinks! * 21:00: Bye! \-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** From Scripts to Systems: Scaling Your Python Analysis with Apache Airflow * **Who**: Marc Gonzalez Planas * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Data Analysts often face a "production wall" where local Python scripts struggle to meet the demands of a live environment. Moving from ad-hoc analysis to scalable data products requires a shift in focus toward governance, observability, and idempotency. Without proper orchestration, we can fail. Let's learn how to bridge that gap by refactoring standard Python scripts into automated pipelines using Apache Airflow. We will explore the transition to an "orchestration" mindset, focusing on how to use Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and the TaskFlow API to transform modular Python functions into a an automatic system. \-\-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** How to Stop an Epidemic using the Atomica Package * **Who**: Eloisa Pérez Bennetts * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Infectious diseases are a major global health challenge, claiming over 13 million lives each year. Despite the availability of interventions – such as vaccination, testing and treatment – determining the most effective strategy can be challenging, as this depends on complex factors like outbreak severity, funding limitations and sociopolitical influences. Computational modelling offers a powerful tool to assess the potential outcomes of different public health responses, but the difficulty of building fit-for-purpose epidemiological models from scratch is a barrier to widespread use. Atomica, a Python-based open source simulation engine, addresses this challenge by simplifying the development of epidemiological models. It allows users to create highly configurable data-driven simulations that incorporate disease transmission, intervention strategies and budget constraints. With its user-friendly design and robust capabilities, Atomica allows us to forecast the potential consequences of public health strategies in specific settings. This insight enables policymakers and health organisations to make evidence-based choices, ultimately improving intervention effectiveness and saving lives. \-\-\-\- ➡️ Location: [ERNI, Edificio El Triangle, Pl. de Catalunya, 1-4, 3º planta, Módulo A y B,](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) [Eixample, 08002 Barcelona](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \-\-\-\- ➡️ Access Control * The security access control requires an **attendee list** (full name) and a **means of identification** (DNI, NIE, passport) * ⚠️ Make sure you register for the event with your **full name** and **ID**.

Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
