About us

Hudson Valley Tech Meetup is a monthly gathering of creatives, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, students, and genuine lovers of technology who share their passion for all things tech in the Hudson Valley of NY State.

We alternate our meeting spot each month across the Hudson River. Right now our two main locations are Kingston and Poughkeepsie but we plan to expand that up and down the river as much as possible.

At each meetup we have 3 speakers share their passion about something that is related to technology. One of these is usually a startup demo. At the end of the presentations we do a Q&A that always guarantees to be a lively discussion.

We are happy to introduce this month speakers:
- Sai Joshitha Kathari with her talk "Building Self-Healing Infrastructure: AI-Assisted Reliability Engineering for Modern Distributed Systems",
- Uday Shankar Bhowal with his talk "Innovation using Open AI solutions in Business Digital Technology for Healthcare technology". He will showcase a few automated solutions utilizing RAG and Supervised Learning to enhance and improve business performance utilized in healthcare settings for cost savings and efficiency improvements
Sai's talk "Building Self-Healing Infrastructure: AI-Assisted Reliability Engineering for Modern Distributed Systems" abstract:
Modern distributed systems generate massive amounts of operational data, but incident detection and troubleshooting often remain highly manual and reactive. This session explores how AI-assisted operational workflows can help engineering teams reduce alert fatigue, improve incident response, and build more resilient cloud-native systems.
The talk will cover practical approaches for combining observability signals, deployment context, and operational telemetry to improve incident detection and reliability workflows in Kubernetes and distributed infrastructure environments. Attendees will also learn how AI-assisted automation can support Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices without replacing human operational decision-making.
Open Q&A and community discussion to follow.
