💡TOPIC

#### Python & AI for Professional Developers

AI is everywhere, and Python is at the center of it all. Whether you've dabbled in it or are just getting started, you need to understand how it works in real-world development.
In this hands-on session, Damian Montero, Tech Consultant for the Federal Government and longtime developer, will skip the basics and talk to you as a professional programmer—not as a beginner.
#### What You'll Learn
✔️ How Python projects are structured from the ground up
✔️ Setting up your development environment for success
✔️ Understanding Objects, Classes, Collections, and Arrays in Python
✔️ Handling dependencies, requirements, and GitHub repositories like a pro
✔️ Debugging common Python errors and making your code run seamlessly
This talk is for developers of all levels—whether you're new to Python or an experienced coder looking to sharpen your skills. Even Python experts are encouraged to join and share their insights.

### ✨ GUEST SPEAKER

Damian Montero has been a developer, technology advocate, and part-time comedian for 25+ years. With deep expertise in front-end, back-end, and full-stack development, he has worked across industries, building robust software solutions while making tech accessible and fun.
Fun Fact: Before coding, Damian started in radio and photography, only to discover he made more money building websites in the '90s!
