September 17: Architecting Context: A Introduction to Model Context Protocol

This month we have Frank Kovacs giving a talk about model context protocol.Thank you to NYU for hosting us.

Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free.

Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk.

About the Talk:Truly agentic and game-changing AI requires models to have visibility into an ecosystem of data sources. Model Context Protocol (MCP) represents the bleeding edge of AI architecture and provides a standardized pattern within which these data sources can be integrated. In this talk we will dive into the core concepts of MCP and examine use cases that make your data work for you (and your LLMs).

About Frank:Frank is an experienced data professional who bridges software engineering and data science, bringing tangible business impact from data. Having architected and led the implementation of projects generating over $60M in added value Frank understands that effective utilization of data resources is a partnership between leadership and technical teams. He partners with clients to identify high-impact use cases and build solutions that are actually used. At Axis Group — most recently as a Senior Data Engineer — he led client engagements to modernize ETL systems, develop anomaly detection models for loss prevention and build an inventory-tracking system for a Fortune 500 company.

Frank fell in love with statistics at Carnegie Mellon University where he received a bachelor's degree in Statistics & Machine Learning and a Masters in Statistical Practice. At CMU Frank was also responsible for the evolution of the Integrated Statistical Learning Environment with Dr. Philipp Burckhardt, a university-wide eLearning platform. He is a self-professed builder who is consistently reading, exploring new frameworks and baking.

The venue doors open at 6:30 PM America/New_York where we will continue enjoying pizza together (we encourage the virtual audience to have pizza as well). The talk, and livestream, begins at 7:00 PM America/New_York.
