Architecture of Intellect
Tue, Jun 2, 5:45 PM**Architecture of Intellect: How Real Organisations Build and Use AI** RSVP 🔗 https://luma.com/mg2wwmom **Igor Ageev** brings 25+ years of building technology inside banks and fintechs. He will walk through what it actually looks like to deploy AI in regulated environments, the architectural decisions, the constraints you cannot ignore, and the places where even well-designed systems quietly fall apart. **Sergey Ignatov**, one of the creators of GoLand and DataGrip at JetBrains, will talk about what happens when AI agents become a serious part of how developers work. He will cover ACP (Agent Client Protocol) and what building that kind of standard looks like from the inside, including how intelligent tooling scales across real teams and codebases. Vlad Breus, Principal Data Scientist at SoundCloud, will cover where ML projects fail in production, where analytics misleads, and what better decision-making actually looks like in practice. **Ezra Citron** from Revolut's experimentation platform will follow with a short lightning talk on how rigorous A/B testing keeps AI systems grounded in real impact rather than nice demos. As always, the talks will be followed by an open Q&A and informal networking with senior engineers, architects, data and ML practitioners, and technical founders from across London. 🤝 📅 Date: 2 June 2026 🕕 Time: 6:45 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM) 📍 Venue: Revolut, 30 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14 5HX https://maps.app.goo.gl/HSo3GmyTQtLTwYaG7

AWS London Well-Architected User Group May Meetup!
Thu, May 28, 5:30 PMHi Architects, Welcome to our the Fourth AWS London Well-Architected User Group Meetup!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Dragon Hall Trust, 17 Stukeley Street, London WC2B 5LT The AWS London Well-Architected Meetup is the latest chapter in the most popular AWS Meetup group globally. At each meetup we cover off various pillars of AWS best-practice in detail including insights from industry leaders that specialise in the Well-Architected Framework. We’ll be updating throughout the month with more speakers and our speakers so far this month include: * **Breached at 3am: How AI is Redefining Security on AWS** \| Oluwasile Adesanya \[Solutions Architect\] from Cadware Limited An overview of how the Well‑Architected Framework is evolving with AI-driven tooling, focusing on how solutions like Kiro transform detection and automated remediation of threats, practical benefits for teams, and recommended implementation patterns and pitfalls to avoid. * **AI-Assisted AWS Well-Architected Assessments with AWS Security Agent** \| Mahendran Selvakumar \[Senior Cloud & DevSecOps Engineer\] from Tata Consultancy Services This talk explores how AWS's new Security Agent can transform the traditionally time-consuming AWS Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) process by leveraging AI to automate and accelerate security assessments. So come join us at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, including drinks, snacks and friendly networking after our talks :-)

Scala Talks: Ports and Adapters & Complexity is a Sin
Wed, Jun 10, 5:00 PM🎉 Come along to the London Scala Talks for a deep dive into functional architecture! 🎉 In this event you'll hear from David Lebl and Przemysław Pokrywka. **Agenda** 6:00pm - 🥤 Doors open. Come along and grab a drink! 6:35pm - 🗣️ Introduction 6:40pm - 🗣️ Przemysław Pokrywka: Ports and Adapters for People on Tight Schedules 7:20pm - 🍕 Intermission: Join us for some free food and drinks! Vegan and vegetarian options are provided. Let us know if you'd like something special - we'd be happy to accommodate. 7:50pm - 🗣️ David Lebl: Complexity is a Sin, But Hexagons Forgive 8:30pm - 🥤 Socialising: Grab a drink and let's discuss the talks. 9:00pm - 🍻 Join us in a pub to discuss the talks! 🌐 **This event may have a live stream** Watch this space for more details. **🗣️ Przemysław Pokrywka: Ports and Adapters for People on Tight Schedules** Focus on software architecture is not always associated with pragmatism in common perception. Terms such as architecture astronautics and the ivory tower stereotype highlight the perceived disconnect between many architects and the realities of day-to-day code maintenance. Too often, architectural patterns are applied with insufficient understanding, leading to cargo-cult adoption and increased waste in the software development process. When applied in the right context, however, certain architectural approaches can be powerful enablers. In this talk, I would like to share the story of a serverless application in which elements of the Ports and Adapters architecture made a tangible, positive difference. ⭐ Przemysław Pokrywka ⭐ Husband, dad, grandad, software engineer. Functional Scala enthusiast with imperative OOP Java background. Fan of the command line. **🗣️ David Lebl: Complexity is a Sin, But Hexagons Forgive** A visual journey from spaghetti to sanity. This talk traces how cognitive load accumulates in unconstrained codebases, how domain-driven design and bounded contexts restore order, and how hexagonal architecture provides a practical, forgiving structure for real-world systems — all laid out on a single zoomable canvas where every example links back to the bigger picture. ⭐ David Lebl ⭐ David is a software developer with a CS background and 5 years of Scala and FP experience. He leads a small team, occasionally survives his own accidental complexity, and is here to share what he learned the hard way. ———————————————————— 🗣️ Would you like to present, but are not sure how to start?
