Google Developer Group - GDG Vancouver

This session explores how to design AI systems from a practical, production-ready perspective. Instead of treating models or agents as black boxes, participants will learn how to break systems into clear building blocks, understand data flow, and evaluate when introducing agents adds real value versus unnecessary complexity. The session emphasizes architectural trade-offs, common failure modes, and system design reasoning relevant to real-world applications and technical interviews. (Google AI Studio & Python)

Mansimar Wadhera, Marketing Designer

I'm a UX designer based in Vancouver who loves making digital experiences feel intuitive.
I started my journey in art and illustration, and over time that naturally led me to design, where I get to think about both how things look and how they work (form and function). I'm especially drawn to UX, visual design, and art direction.
Outside of work, I like staying involved in the design community, I've attended conferences like Touchpoint and Figma Config, and joined hackathons like the Eunoia UX Hackathon and FLUI Design Jam.
