Scaling Agile

☁️ **Clouders, ¡bienvenidos al meetup presencial de mayo del AWS User Group Medellín!** 🎉 En colaboración con **RIWI.IO** Un espacio para inspirarte, aprender y seguir construyendo tu camino en la nube. 📅 **Sábado 16 de mayo de 2026** 🕤 **9:30 AM - 12:00 PM** 📍 **Calle 16 # 55-129, Piso 3, Outlet — Auditorio** 🎟️ **Entrada gratuita** 👥 **Presencial** *** **Certificaciones, Seguridad y el Futuro Tech: lo que nadie te cuenta** Tendremos dos charlas pensadas para ti: una para entender cómo las certificaciones impactan (o no) tu carrera tech, y otra para dominar la seguridad en AWS desde IAM hasta agentes de IA. *** 🎤 **CHARLA 1: Sin certificación, ¿Hay contratación?** **Speakers:** **Diana David** — IT Recruiter, HR Manager y Mentora Tech Psicóloga con más de 8 años de experiencia en el sector tech. Ha trabajado en compañías con presencia internacional y acompañado procesos de mentoría para perfiles tech que quieren impulsar su carrera a nivel global. **Lucas Vera** — AWS Community Builder, Arquitecto Técnico y Desarrollador Full-Stack Más de 11 años en desarrollo de software y +5 años como entrevistador técnico en procesos de selección para perfiles de ingeniería. Especializado en soluciones serverless sobre AWS. ¿Cuánto pesa una certificación en la industria? ¿Cómo sobresalir si no se tiene alguna? ¿Cómo hacer la diferencia cuando sí se tiene una? Dos perspectivas — recruiting y técnica — en una sola conversación. *** 🔐 **CHARLA 2: IAM, Perímetro e IA: Un Recorrido Práctico por la Seguridad en AWS** **Speaker: Juan David Alvarez Builes** — Senior Cloud Security Consultant en AWS ProServe Ingeniero de Sistemas de la Universidad EAFIT. +15 años en ciberseguridad y arquitectura TI. 13 certificaciones AWS activas + CISM. Speaker en RSA Conference 2026 y Ekoparty 2025. Basado en Medellín. Un recorrido práctico desde las bases: identidad y control de acceso con IAM, controles de perímetro organizacional como SCPs y RCPs, y los servicios clave de seguridad en AWS — todo con lecciones aprendidas reales y **demo en vivo**. Porque cuando un agente de IA actúa en nombre de un humano, cada política que no esté bien definida se convierte en una superficie de ataque a velocidad de máquina. *** **¿Qué incluye el evento?** ✔ Networking con la comunidad cloud de Medellín ✔ Dos charlas técnicas y de carrera ✔ Espacio para preguntas y debate con los speakers ✔ Snacks **¡Regístrate y asegura tu lugar!**

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!
