🤖 New York AI Engineers Tech Talk — May Edition
Welcome to the monthly NYC AI Engineers Tech Talk, a recurring gathering built exclusively around the craft of AI engineering. Whether you're a veteran ML engineer or a fullstack developer exploring the world of LLMs, this is a high-signal space designed to go deep on real projects, genuine technical hurdles, and the solutions that actually work. No fluff — just substance, engineered by engineers for engineers.
🎤 This Month's Speakers & Talks
🔁 Yesh Chandiramani — AI Engineer @ Harmonic
Building Reliable AI Agents with Feedback Loops
Current models are impressive — but without the right feedback architecture, they consistently fall short. Yesh will pull back the curtain on how Harmonic is developing Scout, an AI assistant tackling notoriously hard-to-evaluate domains like market mapping and investor search, and what it genuinely takes to design feedback loops that move the needle on output quality.
🔍 Ahsaas Bajaj — Senior ML Engineer @ Instacart
Catching Model Failures Before They Ship
Most AI systems fail quietly — and that's the problem. Ahsaas dives into AI-powered evaluation pipelines that surface hidden regressions, reduce dependence on slow human labeling, and dramatically accelerate iteration cycles.
🏗️ David Osemwegie — Member of Technical Staff @ Hebbia
Inside Enterprise-Grade Coding Agents
Shipping coding agents to production is a different beast entirely. David breaks down the architecture, security considerations, and design philosophy behind Hebbia's background agent — and shares how teams are using it in the real world today.
🧠 Sebastian Sosa — Founder @ Noemica
Why Most AI Agents Are Built Wrong (and How to Fix Them)
Everyone is building agents. Far fewer are building them correctly. Sebastian delivers a sharp, practical teardown of the most common mistakes in agent design, plus battle-tested patterns drawn from top teams at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to make agents that actually perform.
