GDG Cloud London is thrilled to be partnering with Skyscanner for a deep dive into the world of AI applications in Production. This meet-up is a unique opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts, industry practitioners, and researchers in a dynamic and interactive setting. We are going to have some pizza and networking at the end! Don't miss out, RSVP now!AGENDA 18:00 - Doors Open & Check-ins 18:30 - Welcome & Intro 18:40 - Ellen Muller - Vectors in the Newsroom: Building Smarter Image Search at the Guardian. When a photo editor searches our image management system for "protest" at 6pm on a deadline, they can't afford to get zero results because the images were captioned "demonstration." Traditional keyword search has no way to know those mean the same thing - and for an archive with inconsistent metadata, that gap matters. This talk is about how we added semantic search to the Grid (the Guardian's open source image management system) using embeddings and vector similarity. We'll dig into how vector spaces let you encode meaning rather than just text, and the practical choices (and mistakes) involved in shipping this into a real production system. 19:15 - Bruno Ripa - Technical challenges of AI adoption in Healthcare Deploying AI in healthcare requires solving a shifting equation: balancing high-fidelity clinical utility against rigorous data sovereignty mandates and punishing infrastructure costs. This talk breaks down how our company navigates this fluid landscape daily. We will cover where we use AI in our stack, how localised data compliance continuously reshapes our engineering choices, and the concrete technical hurdles we encounter along the way. Rather than showcasing a finalised architecture, we will focus on the ongoing design decisions and trade-offs required to keep our product secure, reliable, and compliant, all while aggressively optimising compute and operational costs—proving that surviving the mutating challenges of healthcare AI is a continuous process of lean execution. 20:00 - Pizza & Networking Agenda --- Speakers Bruno Ripa - Dyad (Senior AI Engineer) Ellen Muller - The Guardian (Software Engineer) Hosted By Amanda Cavallaro, GDG Organizer I'm an Aikidoka, Developer Advocate, Software Developer, Google Developers Expert, Linkedin Learning Author and a Full Stack Web Development Specialist.

AI does the heavy lifting. ⚡ Qualify — Turn your gut instinct into a scoring system the AI runs at scale, so you only chase leads worth chasing. ✉️ Convert — Write outreach that goes way beyond {{name}} — then sequence follow-ups that hold the thread and pull replies. By the end, you won't just understand AI outreach. You'll have designed the engine.

AI assistants are getting more capable. The question is how we build effective workflows around them. At DevDay London, [Lucy Joyce](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-joyce-597485166/), [Ash Shakrani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ash-shakrani/) and [Arun Kurian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arun-mathew-kurian-39b8aa5a/) will explore harness engineering through the lens of a payment integration. From requirements and design through to implementation, they’ll demonstrate why context alone isn’t enough for successful AI-assisted development. Drawing on real-world experience, they’ll show how engineering harnesses, reusable context, standards, and validation workflows help teams move beyond experimentation and build reliable, scalable AI-assisted development practices. **This session will unpack:** 🎯 Why “more context” isn’t the answer on its own 🎯 What engineering harnesses are and how they create reliable feedback loops 🎯 How standards, workflows, and validation reduce AI-generated rework and technical debt 🎯 Practical techniques teams can adopt immediately to improve AI outcomes 🗓️ **Save the Date:** 2nd July, 2026 📍 **Location:** Sahaj Software, 1 Quality Court, London, WC2A 1HR 🕕 **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (BST) The evening will feature: 🎤 **One engaging talk** with Q&A 🤝 **Plenty of time for networking** over free pizza and non-alcoholic drinks Don’t miss this chance to learn, connect, and share with fellow tech enthusiasts. 👉 Please click the link below to register. https://sahaj.ai/events/harness-engineering-in-practice-from-requirements-to-implementation/

We have moved to guild.host. Look us up there. https://guild.host/events/buckeye-cocoaheads-rcavwd

**Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink. Improving will be providing pizza and beverages. 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s). Topic: This month Chris Pazsint will be talking about Agentic Coding. How does one use CLI Based Agents, and Agentic IDEs such as Cursor, Kiro, Antigravity? How to include agentic coding plugins for IDEs you already love such as Visual Studio Code. We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

Join us for a 2.4 mile hike along the Alum Creek Trail south from Casto park to Strawberry Farms park and back. This is a fully paved flat trail along Alum Creek. Come and enjoy a great hike with us!
