Ready to build your very first application with AI-assisted development? Join us for **“Build Your First Application with Kiro”**, a hands-on workshop designed to introduce students and aspiring developers to modern software development using Kiro. During this practical session, participants will learn how to use Kiro to generate, structure, and improve a real application while discovering how AI-powered tools are transforming the way developers build software. From setting up a project to generating components and implementing features, attendees will experience a complete beginner-friendly development workflow guided step by step. This workshop focuses on learning by doing: participants will actively build a functional application, explore the generated code, test their work locally, and gain a better understanding of how AI can accelerate productivity while still requiring solid developer understanding and creativity. By the end of the workshop, participants will: * Build and run their first application with Kiro * Understand the fundamentals of AI-assisted development * Learn how to work effectively with generated code * Gain practical experience with modern development workflows Whether you are completely new to application development or simply curious about the future of AI-powered software engineering, this workshop is a great opportunity to start building with confidence. ***Bring your laptop and come build with us!***

Bonjour à tous 👋 Dans un monde où l’intelligence artificielle, l’automatisation et la robotique transforment profondément le marché de l’emploi, une question devient essentielle : 👉 Comment construire un avenir stable, rentable et durable sans dépendre uniquement d’un emploi traditionnel ? C’est exactement pour répondre à cette réalité que l’entrepreneuriat social prend aujourd’hui une place stratégique. Je vous invite à une présentation exclusive de IGNITE Social Enterprise, une entreprise sociale internationale qui offre des opportunités concrètes dans : ✔ l’entrepreneuriat social ✔ le développement personnel ✔ les formations certifiantes en ligne ✔ l’intelligence artificielle appliquée ✔ le marketing digital ✔ le networking intelligent ✔ la création de revenus complémentaires et évolutifs Cette session vous permettra de découvrir : • comment fonctionne réellement ce modèle • pourquoi de plus en plus de professionnels s’y intéressent • comment développer une activité parallèle sérieuse • et comment créer des revenus à partir de vos compétences et connexions humaines 📅 Date : Samedi 16 Mai 🕔 Heure : 17h00 (Heure de l’Afrique Centrale) 💻 Format : Zoom (en ligne) Ce ne sera pas une simple présentation, mais une nouvelle perspective sur l’avenir professionnel dans l’économie moderne.

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!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
