**Main Talks**
1. **Agentic Workflows for Data Engineers: How AI Agents Are Changing Our Daily Work** - [Yusuf Ganiyu](airscholar@gmail.com)
Last month, I debugged a critical pipeline failure in 4 minutes that used to take 30. The difference? An AI agent that understands my data infrastructure.
This isn't about replacing data engineers, it's about eliminating the toil that keeps us from high-value work. In this talk, I'll share practical experiments with agentic workflows from my work at AstraZeneca and teaching 20,000+ students at DataMasteryLab.
We'll explore:
* What agentic workflows actually are (beyond the hype)
* Live demo: AI-assisted pipeline debugging with LangGraph
* Practical patterns: Schema evolution, data quality monitoring, self-healing pipelines
* The feature engineering bridge: Helping data scientists love you
* What AI still can't do (and why that matters)
Whether you're skeptical about AI hype or already experimenting, you'll leave with concrete patterns you can implement in your pipelines next week.
2. **Explore the Kingdom - Cursor the Data Engineer** - [Jethro Reeve](jethro.reeve@gmail.com)
I built [explorethekingdom.co.uk](http://explorethekingdom.co.uk/ "http://explorethekingdom.co.uk") over Christmas using Cursor with Opus-4.5 and GPT-5.2 for the data engineering and UI.
I've pulled \~15 Government data sources and have them represented on a map of the UK. This kind of data aggregation tool sells for thousands to niche consultancies. I built it while playing Minecraft on Boxing Day.
What would you use it for? (Why) Is the software world so slow to catch up with the capabilities of vibe coding?

Private Substance Misuse Support Group
This group is a private substance misuse support group, for individuals who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship with drugs/alcohol. The group is facilitated by a trained and qualified Janus worker.
This group is designed to offer support, encouragement and to provide a forum, that allows you to make informed choices.
The objective of this group is to liberate you from the labels of addiction, dependency, illness sickness and "disease", replacing them with the more proactive terminology of choice, responsibility, self control and decision making.
Janus does not use the 12 step model. It uses the Janus approach to working with substance use called "The Resonance Factor" http://bit.ly/Resonance_blog
Hopefully you will find these groups informative, innovative and creative.
Before entering this group could you contact CHRISTOPHER ROBIN on 07515663621 to discuss the finer details regarding payment and room number in the venue etc.
Cloud Native London, March 2026

See you there!
Cheryl (@oicheryl)
**Predictable Systems in an Unpredictable World (Behrad Babaee, Aerospike)**
Modern systems are challenged by volatility. Traffic patterns shift without warning, workloads evolve continuously, and failures are no longer exceptional events. In this environment, average performance is meaningless. What matters is whether systems behave predictably when conditions change.
This session explores how system design choices determine behavior under volatility. We will discuss why many modern architectures rely on fragile assumptions about steady-state workloads, cache locality, or predictable growth, and how those assumptions break down in real production environments. Through concrete examples and architectural discussion, we will examine what it means to design systems that remain predictable as load, access patterns, and scale evolve.
The goal is not to showcase tools or benchmarks, but to build a shared mental model for thinking about predictability as a first-class system property.
*Behrad Babaee is a software engineer who leads Product Marketing at Aerospike, shaping positioning and go-to-market strategy for real-time data systems in the AI era.*
*He began his career building scalable, distributed applications for organisations including Barclays and Credit Suisse, before moving into architecture and field leadership roles at Aerospike and DataStax.*
*Today, he combines deep engineering expertise with strategic product leadership, focusing on how organisations design systems that remain predictable, resilient and performant under real-world volatility.*
**Observability with HAProxy: detecting what is not working and why (Baptiste Assmann, HAProxy Technologies)**
Is it the network, the app, or the database? In complex microservices environments, "mean time to innocence" is a critical metric for platform engineers. HAProxy sits at the convergence of these traffic flows, providing a unique vantage point to answer the ultimate observability question: "WTF is going on?".
We'll do a deep dive into the metrics that matter, so you can detect anomalies before users complain. You will learn:
* The difference between monitoring and observability in a reverse proxy context.
* How to access HAProxyâs detailed logs, stats, and stick-tables.
* How to analyze the "life of a request" using precise timers to pinpoint latency sources.
* How to use HAProxyâs observability features to fix real-world issues (demo)
* How HAProxy Fusion provides centralized observability and automation for enterprise deployments at scale.
*Baptiste Assmann is Director of Product at HAProxy Technlogoes. He spent his carreer on networking and high performance architecture. Today, he plays a key role on HAProxy's ecosystem evolution: from bare metal to Kubernetes and from load balancing to advanced security at scale and always looking forward for what's next!*
**eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security (Alam Ahmed)**
eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security from the Kernel Up
Cloud-native architectures have fundamentally broken traditional security models. While 67% of organizations now delay deployments due to Kubernetes security concerns, conventional tools remain blind to the dynamic, ephemeral nature of containersâoperating from the outside looking in, missing critical kernel-level threats until it's too late.
This session reveals how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is transforming cloud-native security by moving visibility and enforcement directly into the Linux kernel. Through real-world case studies from Meta, Google, and Cloudflareâwhere eBPF processes billions of packets per second and mitigates multi-terabit DDoS attacksâyou'll discover how this technology delivers 10x performance improvements with <1% CPU overhead.
We'll explore the production-ready CNCF ecosystem (Falco, Tetragon, Cilium) and demonstrate practical security observability patterns: process execution monitoring, network correlation with Kubernetes context, file integrity tracking, and syscall anomaly detection. No kernel modules. No code changes. Complete visibility.
Whether you're battling container escapes, cryptojacking, or compliance gaps, this talk provides the architectural blueprint for security that matches the speed and scale of cloud-nativeâwithout sacrificing agility.
*Alam Ahmed is a Junior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with NOC operations experience and a focus on cloud security. He has spoken at Elastic London and Yorkshire DevOps on Security as Code practices, contributes to open-source projects including Envoy AI Gateway, and is passionate about kernel-level observability and cloud-native defense.*

Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recognition BiWeekly Support Group with Heather
Welcome to Gaslighting Recognition & Recovery Group.
**This is a peer-to-peer support group dedicated to recovery from emotional abuse.** **\*\*FOR ESTABLISHED MEMBERS \*\***
Imagine this scenario: Suppose your partner, parent or friend made a little joke at your expense, and it hurt your feelings. Perhaps you thought to yourself âIâll let it slide because they probably didnât mean it. Or maybe I just misunderstood. Itâs just not worth the consequence of having this argument.â But as days and weeks pass, the buried emotions resurface, demanding to be dealt with. So you decide to express your feelings to this person, only to hear this response:
*"Wow, you're so sensitive that I can't even joke with you anymore. I didn't mean it like that, but of course you need to make me look like a jerk. Why are you bringing this up NOW? I've moved on, but I guess you just can't let go of the past. I don't understand why you get offended so easily. You said you loved my sense of humor, but I guess my jokes just arenât funny anymore. I mean, I could sensor myself for you, but how sad it is to be silenced and forbidden from being myself? You must not love me for who I am. You have sloppy habits and mental health issues, but I love you anyway. So why can't you just accept me for who I am? Maybe I should just go away. If you want me to go away, just tell me, and I will. Free yourself and finally be rid of me.â*
This is a DARVO, and it's also gaslighting. It is word salad nonsense designed to leave you feeling confused, tongue tied and self-blaming. Although subtle and difficult to detect, gaslighting can present this way. Perpetrators are skilled in evading detection, and nearly impossible to identify without external support.
Gaslighting isnât âjust a pop psychology term.â Itâs a very real form of emotional manipulation that often flies under the radar because weâve been conditioned to see it as normal. This is especially true if we grew up amidst toxic family dynamics. Weâve learned to doubt ourselves before questioning someone elseâs behavior. We say, *âMaybe Iâm just too sensitive.â* Or *âMaybe Iâm overreacting.â* And thatâs exactly how gaslighting works â it teaches us to question our intuition, doubt our own emotions, silence and shrink ourselves, making us more digestible for the other person.
But no â you are not âtoo sensitive.â You are not âbeing defensive" or "unable to handle constructive criticism.â You are having a normal human response to emotional abuse. Gaslighting thrives in the disguise of normalcy, often framed as âcare and concernâ or âjust trying to helpâ. And the first step in dismantling it is naming it for what it is: emotionally abusive. Itâs not your fault, not imagined, and definitely not normal.
This group is a safe space dedicated to supporting one another as we confront the faulty, gaslit self-concepts imposed upon us by others. Together, we can practice self-compassion, reclaim our voices and empower ourselves. This group offers support for every stage of recovery.
This group runs 6PM EST- 7:30PM EST (5PM-6:30PM CST, 3PM-4:30PM PST AND 11PM-12:30AM BST) **every other Saturday**
I did schedule this group with the assumption that those attending are well-versed in gaslighting but would still like to provide a brief definition for anyone who may be uncertain;
*Gaslighting is an intentional, subtle, psychological manipulation tactic where the perpetrator plants seeds of doubt in the victim's mind. This leads the victim to question their perceptions, memories, feelings, abilities, and even their mental health. The perpetrator is often a person with high narcissistic **and*** *sociopathic traits. Itâs designed to evade detection and is therefore one of the most insidious tools in the pathological narcissist's arsenal.*

AI Exchange - Sky, Webuild & AWS
And we're back! We are excited to announce that on Wednesday, March 4th, we will host our first AI Exchange event of the year at AWS London.
Join us for another night of insightful conversations, expert perspectives and real world examples exploring how AI is being built, scaled, and applied across industries.
We have three brilliant talks to kick us off this year. Hope to see you there and please RSVP as soon as you can to secure your place.
**Agenda:**
**[Kaitlin Brabec](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlinbrabec/) @ [We Build AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/webuild-ai/)**
**Practical Tips For Using AI To Enhance And Accelerate Your Work (Without Compromising On Quality Or Learning) by an AI Engineer**
As AI becomes embedded in how we work, the expectation to deliver quickly and correctly is higher than ever. But the real opportunity is how to use AI to genuinely grow, both personally and professionally, along the way.
Kaitlin shares real examples from her work as an AI Engineer - from picking up software engineering best practices, to data engineering techniques, to project management tasks - and the simple habits she developed to use AI in a way that builds real knowledge you can reuse and lean on next time. Kaitlin also shares how she stays up to date with the latest AI learnings to keep refining her technique and growing over time.
Whether you're technical or not, this session will provide practical tips to use AI whilst balancing quality output and self-development.
Kaitlin is a Senior AI Engineer at WeBuild-AI. Kaitlin has 4 years of hands-on experience delivering GenAI and Agentic AI solutions to enterprise clients, with a focus on the energy and utilities sectors. Recent client feedback includes "I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of work that was delivered on this project".

**[Amit Dhingra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amitdhingra7/) @ AWS**
**The Agentic Enterprise: How AI Agents Are Rebuilding Business in 2026**
This session explores the transformative shift from AI assistants to autonomous AI agents in 2026, showcasing real-world production deployments across finance and retail that are fundamentally changing how businesses operate.
The Paradigm Shift: We've moved from AI as chatbots (2023) and copilots (2025) to autonomous agents (2026) that plan, decide, and execute complete workflows independently. While 64% of professionals now use AI agents, only 25% use them regularlyâcreating a widening competitive gap.
Amit will discuss how agentic AI differs fundamentally from current AI tools they useConcrete examples of agents operating in production today. The career implications for developers, technical professionals, and business leaders.
Unlike the internet transition that took 20 years, the agentic AI shift is happening in 20 months. Organizations that master agent orchestration in 2026 will have significant competitive advantages, while those waiting risk falling permanently behind.
**Lisa Smisson @** **[Sky](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sky/)**
**AI Journey and Software Development Transformation Summary**
Lisa's AI journey started with a simple need: creating illustrations for a story sheâd written for her daughter. After her arty husband quoted a couple of weeks to create a few pictures to illustrate it, she decided to try ChatGPT's image generation capabilities. In just a few hours, she created all the illustrations needed, a moment that revealed AI's transformative potential.
Lisa will take us through her journey of software development using AI coding assistants, without ever having written a line of code. Calling out key points to consider on AI transformation.
Lisa is an AI Delivery Manager at NBCUniversal/Sky, on her 12-month AI journey and its implications for software development transformation.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!

A conversation that needs to happen.
A decision thatâs been sitting in the back of your mind.
For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, weâre creating space to actually work through those moments.
**Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isnât a panel. Itâs not passive networking. Itâs small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time.
Hereâs how it will work:
⢠Youâll choose a topic that reflects what youâre navigating right now
⢠Youâll join a small coaching circle (5â7 participants)
⢠Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area
⢠Weâll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation
### Coaching Topics:
⢠Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team)
⢠Career Transitions & Whatâs Next
⢠Growing Into Leadership
⢠Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes
⢠Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership
Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about.
Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful.
If this sounds like the kind of room youâve been wanting to be in, weâd love to see you on March 10.
