SF AI Engineers: Sept Tech Talk w/ Eve, Qualcomm, & Chalk Presenting

We hosted the September edition of the San Francisco AI Engineers Tech Talk, our monthly gathering built exclusively for AI engineers. From seasoned ML engineers to fullstack developers exploring LLMs, the room was packed with people diving into real-world projects, technical challenges, and creative solutions.

What Happened

Three engineers took the stage to share something they'd built, the challenges they faced, and how they solved them. All substance, no fluff. Designed for engineers, by engineers.

Featured Presenters

Mauricio Wulfovich & Sylvia Cung – Machine Learning Engineer & Fullstack Software Engineer @ Eve

Mauricio and Sylvia shared their work at Eve, discussing the practical challenges of building ML systems in production and the technical decisions that shaped their approach to solving real-world problems with AI.

Bhushan Sonawane – Staff Machine Learning Engineer @ Qualcomm AI Hub

Bhushan dove into his experience at Qualcomm AI Hub, exploring how they're pushing the boundaries of on-device AI and the engineering tradeoffs involved in optimizing models for edge deployment.

Elvis Kahoro – AI Developer Advocate @ Chalk
