David Golverdingen is a Senior Engineer & MCP Architect at Warmtebouw, a 350-person Dutch installation and construction company with a small IT team and no AI department. He built and runs its production MCP platform: sixteen servers and 103 tools over the company's ERP, BIM, building automation and energy data, with eight MCP Apps that render the answers. In the 90 days ending September 2026, 105 colleagues queried it through agents like Claude, across project management, engineering and back-office. Most of them do not write code.

He wrote The Missing Layer, which introduces Introspective Context Engineering for MCP, a method for turning a thin API wrapper into a Rich Domain MCP Server. His open-source mcp-metadata-demo runs the same server as a thin, a rich and a best version, publishes the evals behind each design rule, and ships a skill that runs the loop against your own server. He spoke at AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe in September 2026, speaks at VibeKode in October and Update Conference Prague in November, and writes at davidgolverdingen.nl.

Flávio Fernandes

Flávio Fernandes

Flávio Fernandes is CEO and Partner at booldata. He got into analytics years ago for a simple reason: he liked the moment when a messy spreadsheet finally made sense to the people using it. That curiosity has never really left, and it eventually led him toward a PhD, where he now researches how organisations can responsibly integrate AI into their decision-making.

Today he spends his time with clients and the booldata team, turning ambitious data goals into something people can run with week to week. He is happiest in the conversation where a business question meets a technical choice: what to build first, what can wait, and how to keep momentum without trying to fix everything at once.

The decade-plus of experience behind that comes from a varied path: early consultancy work with companies of all sizes, a stint at the Betsson Group in Malta that broadened both his technical and people skills, and BI leadership roles at Deco PROTESTE and NOS before founding booldata. He knows the platform stack, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, the broader Microsoft data ecosystem, but he will be the first to say that tools matter less than clarity: who needs the answer, by when, and what decision it unlocks.

Flávio is based in Porto and helped build booldata for mid-sized organisations that want to move faster on data without adopting a heavyweight consultancy playbook. You will often find his posts here on what is changing in analytics, and increasingly, on where AI fits into all of it.

Nicki Koutsardaki

Nicki Koutsardaki

Niki Koutsardaki is the creator of the EUTOPIA Framework, a science-based mathematical equation that models the variables determining human happiness, fulfilment and human flourishing. During its development, the framework received an independent review and a positive signed statement from Yale neuroscientist and researcher Dr. Kathleen Garrison and positive academic feedback from Stanford cognitive scientist Professor Jay McClelland.

The EUTOPIA equation received a positive signed statement from Yale neuroscientist Dr. Kathleen Garrison and positive academic feedback from Stanford Prof. Jay McClelland, Lucie Stern Professor, member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and leading researcher in computational cognition and neuroscience, and Stanford Prof. Jo Boaler, internationally recognised in mathematics education and learning sciences and affiliated with Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.

Behind the EUTOPIA Framework lies a single mission: to bring neuroscience to one of humanity's oldest unanswered questions: How do we build a life that is deeply meaningful, deeply fulfilling and truly worth living? Hidden within it are science-based answers to why we burn out, why success can still feel empty, why extraordinary people never reach their full potential, why some leaders change lives while others quietly diminish them, and perhaps the most important question of all: What is missing?

She holds a degree in Marketing and Communication from the Athens University of Economics and Business and has completed neuroscience studies through HarvardX. She has also completed NLP Mastery training at the Madanes Institute, further expanding her expertise in human behaviour, identity, emotional patterns and transformational change. She is proficient in English and speaks it fluently and confidently in professional, creative and public-speaking settings. An award-winning poet in national poetry competitions across Greece, she combines scientific thinking with the emotional power of language to communicate complex ideas in ways that deeply resonate with people.

Niki is also the host of one of Greece's leading self-development podcasts, which has reached more than 25,000 listeners, where she translates complex neuroscience into simple, practical and emotionally resonant ideas that people can immediately apply to their everyday lives. Her audience has formed an unusually deep connection with her work. Many people use the order notes of her EUTOPIA sportswear brand not to comment on their order, but to tell her what they finally understood about themselves after listening to one of her episodes.

She is also the founder of the EUTOPIA sportswear brand, built around the same philosophy of purpose, identity and personal growth. Through her content, community and brand, she has built a loyal audience that connects not only with her ideas, but with the deeper mission and values behind them.

Based in Greece and available worldwide, Niki's mission is to help people answer one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: What is missing? Through neuroscience, human behaviour and transformational communication, she helps people understand not only how the brain works, but why some lives feel deeply meaningful while others quietly feel empty and how to build a life that is not only successful, but profoundly worth living.

Emanuele Meazzo

Emanuele Meazzo

I’m passionate about technology since childhood, from consumer electronics to enterprise hardware/software and everything in between.

Following this passion, I pursued an education focused on scientific and technical fields, becoming an IT Engineer at the end of my academic career.
I often spend my free time trying to learn something new and be up to date on the topics in my interest, allowing me to maintain and develop my skillset.

Thanks to study and international experiences with customers and employers (in USA, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, etc..) and mentors, I’ve developed a transversal knowledge that involves both the elements of an architecture and how to exploit it in order to give to the business the value that needs.

My strong suite is architecting data solutions, from relational DBs to AI applications: I like to know my tech stack from top to bottom, you can't ignore the hardware in the same way you can't ignore the business requirements.

On the job I usually find myself being the go-to guy that both senior and junior employees approach to tackle particularly tricky issues or asking for advice
I appreciate whenever this happens as I’m stimulated by new problems to solve and I enjoy sharing my knowledge to empower others
