I hope your weather is better than mine 😅🌀 stuck in Hong Kong... for the second day

My balcony tomato plantation 🍅 I wish I could say I don't need to buy tomatoes any more, but that would be lie 🙊

An experiment on LLM-powered interfaces for business intelligence: 1. User asks a data-related question 2. LLM writes SQL query & sends request via #MCP 3. #Trino queries Iceberg table that has access to #ApacheKafka through #Tableflow youtu.be/EnxfTdwTUug

Just added an extension to Chrome to remove YouTube suggestions. And it feels so good!

3 years ago I remember I was at Devoxx Poland and in my hotel room I was doing an interview with @olenakutsenko.bsky.social to join Aiven, she was really shy but I could instantly see she was a rock star and today she was in the main room at Devoxx Poland doing her DevRel job ! You rock Olena !

Missed @olenakutsenko.bsky.social at Devoxx UK 2025? Watch her session, "The Art of Structuring Real-Time Data Streams into Actionable Insights," to learn how to transform raw streams into structured insights using Apache Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg. Session link - buff.ly/uRoRoe5

Never expected to see Stardew Valley alongside these tech logos in the same slide 🌳 @olenakutsenko.bsky.social showing us Kafka as the distributed log for conversations in an agentic video game simulation with Flink and OpenSearch #PyData London @pydatalondon.bsky.social

For my American friends - this is the proper size of americano in Portugal ;)

#StardewValley conversations powered by LLM, #ApacheKafka and #ApacheFlink. Admittedly still shallow and I'm working on a better visualisation - the map gets too busy with lots of conversations at once... Also, my villagers are quite impolite - walking away while still talking!

Getting ready to cucumber season! And it is not even middle of May #gardening 🌱

Two weeks until #Current25 in London! ⏱️ Want to turn live data chaos into clean, analytics-ready pipelines? Join my talk, “The art of structuring real-time data streams into actionable insights,”. Still need a ticket? Use code L-PRM-DEVREL for 40% off. See you there! 🚀🚀

Iceland! Cold, windy and so beautiful. Type of the trip where you enjoy going there and also enjoy coming back to the simple pleasures of not freezing when brushing the teeth or taking shower🥶

Data analytics for everyday life! Streaming, enhancing and aggregating data from my very biased BlueSky feed (#NeedsMoreCats) 🐱 #ApacheKafka → #ApacheFlink (with calls to LLM for vibes & tags) → #Tableflow → #ApacheIceberg → #Trino → #Superset

Take a breath before the weekend—and register for AI-fokus ☁️ June 10 in Stockholm. 3 tracks. 1 day. Talks on Trustworthy AI @magisterfalk.bsky.social, datastreaming and AI (@olenakutsenko.bsky.social) and more. More info: www.jfokus.se/ai-fokus/ #AIfokus #AIdev #devconf #softwaredevelopment

🛤️ Heading back to Vienna after busy time at PyCon Austria 🇦🇹! But the day is not over and I'm looking forward for an evening with a curious crowd at the #ApacheKafka x #ApacheFlink meetup, chatting about architecture, DevOps, data streaming, and what not!

Morning coffee at the airport ☕! Playing with sending data from Bluesky to #ApacheKafka. Sadly, no easy way to subscribe to the feed via the API, so I’m currently using a hacky workaround 🤪.

Whom else will I see at #DevoxxUK this May? ;)

The kind of movie I go to the cinema for: starring #Debezium, #ApacheFlink, #Postgres, directed and presented by @gunnarmorling.dev . At Big Data Conference in one of Vilnius' cinemas! 😉

Just me messing around with #Microsoft’s new #TinyTroupe library to see how it handles human behavior and interactions🤖 Sharing some thoughts on what’s cool and what’s kinda meh - www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rcf...
