Josh is a developer advocate for AI and Open Source at Snowflake, previously at TruEra (recently acquired by Snowflake). He is also a maintainer of TruLens, an open-source library to systematically track and evaluate LLM based applications.
Two focused sessions delivering real-world expertise for production-grade AI applications that solve actual business problems.
The Reality: RAG is everywhere in theory, but production deployment is where most projects stall. We'll bridge that gap with battle-tested approaches.
Session 1: RAG Mastery Unleashed (60 min) Build a complete RAG application from scratch using cutting-edge vector search and serverless LLM deployment. Watch as we transform a simple chatbot into an intelligent system that understands context, retrieves relevant information, and delivers human-like responses.
- Live Demo: Real-time RAG pipeline with error handling
Session 2: Production Superpowers (60 min) The secret sauce of production RAG: bulletproof observability, automatic evaluation, and serverless scaling that handles anything you throw at it. We'll show you the monitoring dashboards that keep Fortune 500 companies running smoothly.
- Live Demo: Observability stack with OpenTelemetry
