**Speaker:**
Olena Kutsenko, Staff Developer Advocate, Confluent
**Talk:**
Keeping data private in real-time pipelines
**Abstract:**
We all love real-time data — clicks, payments, rides, messages — but most of it comes with a catch: it contains personal information we're not supposed to leak, such as names, emails, locations, or even small clues that can identify someone. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time? In this talk, we'll explore practical ways to protect privacy in streaming systems using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg. We'll cover: - simple tricks like masking and tokenizing PII; - why "anonymous" data often isn't anonymous (the re-identification problem); - techniques like bucketing, k-anonymity, and adding noise; - how to balance privacy with data utility (too much hiding makes data useless). Along the way, we'll look at real-world stories: from public data leaks to surprising deanonymization attacks, and show live demos of pipelines that anonymize data before it's written to storage. If you've ever wondered how to build privacy-aware pipelines, this talk will give you practical patterns you can use right away.
**Bio:**
Olena is a Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent and a recognized expert in data streaming and analytics. With two decades of experience in software engineering, she has built mission-critical applications, led high-performing teams, and driven large-scale technology adoption at industry leaders like Nokia, HERE Technologies, AWS, and Aiven.
A passionate advocate for real-time data processing and AI-driven applications, Olena empowers developers and organizations to use the power of streaming data. She is an AWS Community Builder, a dedicated mentor, and a volunteer instructor at a nonprofit tech school, helping to shape the next generation of engineers.
As an international speaker and thought leader, Olena regularly presents at top global conferences, sharing deep technical insights and hands-on expertise. Whether through her talks, workshops, or content, she is committed to making complex technologies accessible and inspiring innovation in the developer community.

Paras Sitoula, Technical Lead, Tabcorp
**Talk:**
Building an AI Agent on Kafka — Architectural Realities Beyond the Demo
**Abstract:**
Large Language Models make it deceptively easy to build an “AI agent”: consume an event, call a model, produce a decision. But when this pattern is introduced into a high-throughput streaming system built on Apache Kafka, the architectural assumptions begin to shift.
Kafka is optimized for predictable scaling, low latency, and deterministic event processing. LLM-based agents, by contrast, introduce seconds-level latency, per-call cost, rate limits, and non-deterministic outputs. What appears straightforward in a demo can quickly create consumer lag, cost escalation, replay inconsistencies, and new operational failure modes in production.
In this session, we will:
* Build a simple event-driven AI agent on Kafka
* Examine the architectural tension between streaming systems and LLM workloads
* Explore the impact of latency, cost-per-event, backpressure, and rate limiting
* Discuss how non-determinism affects replay and auditability
* Present practical design patterns to isolate and control AI workloads in streaming environments
Rather than focusing on prompt engineering, this talk takes a systems-design perspective. It is aimed at engineers and architects who are experimenting with AI in real-time platforms and want to understand the production trade-offs before deploying at scale.
**Bio**
Paras is a seasoned software/date engineer with significant experience in developing and optimizing realtime scalable systems. At Tabcorp, Paras leads a high-performing team, developing and optimizing real-time transaction monitoring systems utilizing technologies like Apache Kafka and Neo4j. With a robust background in both real-time and batch data processing, Paras has extensive experience across various platforms and tools, including AWS, Databricks, and Spark, which he leverages to deliver high-performance data solutions.

Hi Architects,
Welcome to our next AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group Meetup for 2026, including more exceptional speakers and topics! :-D

We’ll be updating throughout the month with more speakers and our speakers so far this month include:
* **Andrew Goifeld, Co-founder, Resilera**
**“Truly Well-Architected Reliability, the agentic way”**
What is the boundary between effort and cost of reliability? Andrew will discuss how in the future, using chatbot with LLM inference will be too expensive. We will demonstrate current and future approaches to reliability on AWS.
* **Mystery Speaker**
**From hype to disappointment to light at the end of the tunnel; An Agentic AI Journey**
In this case study talk, we'll go through all the highs and lows of architecting and building AI Agents using all your favourite tools and what we discovered along the way.

So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm **SHARP** start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and friendly networking after our talks :-)
Red Desert 1964 (@Lido)
## IL DESERTO ROSSO (1964) (Dir: Michelangelo Antonioni)
**Book your ticket:** https://www.lidocinemas.com.au/movies/red-desert-1964
**6:40 pm** Meet in the cinema foyer
**7:00** **pm** Film begins
A near-apocalyptic audiovisual tour de force, Antonioni’s first film in colour confirms his status as cinema’s poet laureate on the soul-sickness of modern man. Vitti plays Giuliana, a disaffected wife who stumbles through a bleak industrial landscape beset by power plants and environmental toxins, suffering from a mysterious and debilitating anxiety. When her husband’s friend Corrado (Richard Harris) shows sensitivity to her condition, and a tentative flirtation ensues, Giuliana’s mental deterioration continues. Antonioni's panoramic and spellbinding critique of technological malaise is a prescient ecological nightmare that continues a run of decade-defining artistic achievements.

Data driven decision making for fantasy basketball
Integral to the modern data scientists toolkit is understanding how to turn data into decisions. A core part of this is thinking about the end stage of your analysis pipeline, and how the communication and visualisation of your results will factor into decision making.
But it's not just enough to deliver a solution. Part of successfully supporting end-user decisions comes from co-design. That means thinking about end user needs and how your end-users will engage with your solution.
This talk explores both of these issues using fantasy basketball statistics. So come along if you have a love of data and data-driven decision making. Also come along if you are fan of sports analytics or forecasting.
