Maarten Vandeperre is an experienced software professional who recently joined Red Hat as an Appdev & AI Specialized Solutions Architect. With a strong background in software development and architecture, he brings a wealth of expertise to his role. Maarten's primary focus is on application development and AI, with a particular emphasis on leveraging Red Hat's OpenShift platform from a developer's perspective.
One of Maarten's true passions lies in advocating for "clean architecture" as a guiding principle in software development. He firmly believes in the importance of designing software systems that are modular, maintainable, and scalable. As part of his dedication to this approach, Maarten strives to map these principles to infrastructure solutions, ensuring that the underlying technology supports and enhances the overall architecture. His deep understanding of integration technologies, such as API Gateways, Keycloak, Kafka, service mesh, and Camel, enables him to create seamless connections between systems while adhering to clean architectural principles, which empower organizations to thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
That bill from the Gringotts of third-party LLMs just arrived via owl post. It's... a howler. And the Aurors from your security department are asking pointed questions about which dark wizards are seeing your company's secret spells. In the rush to use powerful magic, we've dabbled in the Dark Arts of black-box APIs, trading control for convenience and inviting Dementors of risk into our infrastructure. It's time to master our own magic.
This session is for wizards of engineering who are ready to move beyond chanting borrowed incantations. We'll learn the potions and charms needed to architect a secure, private model-as-a-service (MaaS) platform using powerful, open-source magic. This isn't Transfiguration theory—it's a practical guide to creating your own Marauder's Map for models. Using API Connectivity as our all-seeing eye, we'll cast protective enchantments (access policies), consult the Pensieve of analytics, and manage our galleon spend.
Leave this session with your own spellbook to stop being a squib (i.e., a person who was born into a wizarding family but does not possess any magical powers) and start being a Master of the AI Arts. It's time to take back control, brew your own powerful potions, and deploy your models with the confidence of Dumbledore himself.
