Zero to Pipeline: When Data Connectors Just Work

EuroPython 2026 · Krakow, Poland · July 15, 2026

Data engineers spend hours writing the same connector boilerplate (auth flows, pagination loops, retry logic) before a single byte of real data moves. I built zero-to-pipeline to fix that: one CLI command, and the LLM discovers endpoints, infers the auth type, and writes the config. At EuroPython 2026 (Europe's largest Python conference, 25th anniversary edition in Krakow) I ran a live fraud-detection demo: 15,000 synthetic transactions, Feast feature views, MLflow, Prometheus, and a Linear issue, orchestrated as a DAG and done in 4.4 seconds. The talk collapses days of connector boilerplate into a single shell command.

Zero to Pipeline: When Data Connectors Just Work

PyData Helsinki Meetup at RELEX · Helsinki, Finland

Lightning talk at PyData Helsinki showing how a single CLI command can replace the hours of connector boilerplate data engineers write for every new API. The talk introduced zero-to-pipeline — a Python framework that uses an LLM to discover endpoints, infer auth type, and handle pagination, so you can connect to any REST or GraphQL API without writing a connector class. Part of a data engineering evening hosted at RELEX Solutions.

Building AI for Africa's Fragmented Retail Future

Edge of Intelligence (Podcast) · Remote

A 45-minute conversation on building AI-powered tools for Africa's fragmented retail landscape — inventory forecasting, customer engagement, and decision automation for markets ranging from mom-and-pop shops to enterprise operations. Covers the origin story of RetailLoop, lessons from navigating Nigeria's fragmented retail infrastructure, and the architecture decisions behind Leahai, the AI intelligence layer built on top of the platform.

Navigating Retail Challenges in Africa

Techpression TV · Lagos, Nigeria

An interview on Africa's leading tech media platform covering the specific retail infrastructure challenges facing founders and operators in African markets — fragmented supply chains, unreliable connectivity, cash-heavy transactions — and how technology can address them systematically rather than around the edges.
