SUMMARY:The Hidden Engineering Behind Production AI
LOCATION:Barclays Eagle Labs\, Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 36% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nThe Hidden Engineering Behind Production AI\n\nEveryone c
 an build an AI demo. Getting one into production is a very different chall
 enge.\n\nOver the last year Head for Data have been building an AI-native 
 support platform\, integrating large language models into an operational w
 orkflow used by real engineers handling real customer requests.\n\nThe int
 eresting part wasn't choosing the model - it was everything else.\nIn this
  talk Colin Parry will walk through the engineering decisions that don't m
 ake the headlines: protecting sensitive data before it reaches an LLM\, de
 signing reliable event-driven architectures\, collecting user feedback\, t
 esting AI systems whose behaviour changes over time\, and deploying change
 s safely into production.\n\nAlong the way he will share practical lessons
  from a real client engagement: including the mistakes they've made\, what
  surprised them most\, and why successful AI systems are usually won or lo
 st outside of the model itself.\nWhether you're building AI products\, lea
 ding technical teams or simply curious about what production AI really loo
 ks like\, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to mo
 ve beyond proof-of-concepts.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nColin is the Head in Head for
  Data with a BSc in Applied Physics and an MSc in Renewable Energy. He has
  been working with data for over 18 years\, starting his career analysing 
 wave and wind data for several renewable companies before supporting the B
 I system at Aggreko and becoming their first data scientist with a focus o
 n predictive maintenance.\n\nHe then moved to become Director of Data Scie
 nce at a carbon reporting platform\, analysing millions of energy meter da
 ta points from commercial buildings\, where his work received several pate
 nts.\n\nHe founded Head for Data in 2023 and strongly believes that data a
 nd AI is there to empower businesses to do more with less\, making better 
 decisions and improving employee output.\n\nWe will have this talk and Q&A
 .\n\nMichael Young\, CEO @ MBN will be the chair.
