Talk 1: Build a Local AI Agent for Small Businesses
Speaker: Alejandro Mantilla (LinkedIn)
Think AI tools always need cloud APIs and large-scale infrastructure? Think again. Alejandro walks us through how to build a privacy-first, low-cost AI chatbot that runs fully offline, using local documents and databases.
With a simple tech stack (think SQLite, CSV, open-source models), he’ll demonstrate how small businesses can automate customer support, without compromising on data privacy or breaking the bank.
Talk 2: Cracking the 1 Billion Row Challenge
Speaker: Felipe Flores (LinkedIn)
What happens when you take a lightweight scripting language like Lua and throw it at a billion-row dataset? Felipe Flores shows us. Starting with a simple script, he’ll guide us through increasingly sophisticated optimizations, eventually matching the speed of C.
But this talk is more than Lua. It's about how developers think, optimize, and find joy in solving hard problems. Expect performance tricks, language-agnostic learnings, and a whole lot of nerdy fun.
Why You Should Come
Whether you're optimizing for speed, building with privacy in mind, or just hungry for tech inspiration, this Server Side Chat is for you. You’ll meet fellow developers, share drinks, and leave with new tools, ideas, and maybe even a few GitHub repos to explore.
