On June 28, we celebrate International LGBTQIA+ Pride Day. But pride doesn't exist only for a day, a month, or on a flag. It lives in the stories that came before us, in the achievements that pave the way towards freedom and in the courage to keep moving forward. Because barriers still exist. And celebrating means standing up for every person's right to live their truth, express their identity and belong, without having to hide who they are. Inclusion is not a destination. It's a practice, every day, every month, not just in June. Pride Remains. You Be You. 💜🌈

AI governance is architectural. At #DataAISummit, Shayan Mohanty joined Databricks' Tim Lortz to discuss why governance must evolve alongside AI, extending beyond models to agents, tools and the entire AI ecosystem. The conversation explored how organizations can balance risk, compliance and accountability while continuing to innovate, reinforcing a simple idea: governed agents aren't slow agents, they're the ones that scale.
Nothing brings people together quite like great food and great company. Last week, our Madrid office fired up the grill for an afternoon of barbecue, conversations and connection. From shared meals to shared laughs, it was a reminder that some of the best moments happen when we step away from our desks and spend time together. Adding an extra layer of nostalgia, some of these moments were captured on a Kodak Chamera, giving the gallery a vintage feel that perfectly reflects the warmth and authenticity of the day. 📸✨
Great conversations, new connections and a shared passion for technology at Commit Conf. It was a pleasure to connect with the Madrid tech community and explore topics ranging from software excellence and security to the real-world potential of LLMs. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversations and helped make the event such a memorable experience.
