Over nineteen years of experience in software development and design.
I have been passionate about cloud technologies for the last nine years.
My journey with the cloud began with Azure. However, about three years later, AWS became my primary cloud provider at work. 
From the beginning, I was impressed by how cloud technologies help engineers in their work and help deliver solutions much faster and easier. 
For the last four years, my interests and work mainly focused on serverless infrastructure, containerized applications, and search. 
Besides that, I am also curious about other cloud providers, like GCP and Azure.

I'm the AWS Community Builder.

Lars has dedicated his career to focus on organizing software developer routines and chores in a way that fosters software with quality built-in — often GxP grade (life science), safety-critical (manufacturing industry) and high-trust (finance) and often with the added complexity of hardware-in-the-loop. At the core in achieving this he builds a continuous flow in software deliveries, through a high degree of autonomation and automation; anything-as-code.

Jędrzej works on thrust vector control systems for sounding rockets at SpaceForest, where sophisticated math, challenging engineering, and rigorous software practices collide at launch. His path started in experimental physics at Poznań University of Technology — atomic clocks, ion traps, FPGAs — and led through software engineering to rockets.
He's been through the full arc — from successful flights to in-flight failures — and has the flight data and post-mortem analysis to prove it. But the biggest lesson wasn't in the code or the control loops. It was that even the best engineering can't outrun communication problems — Conway's Law isn't just theory when your rocket is heading off course.

Born in Kindu on September 9, 1999, Gilbert Bemwiz discovered computing at the age of 14 through mobile video games. What started as curiosity slowly became a strong interest in technology, experimentation, and digital systems. Although he had good abilities in mathematics, he chose to study Commercial Informatics because of his passion for computers.

As a teenager, he spent a lot of time experimenting with phones, software, and digital tools, sometimes even damaging devices while trying to understand how they worked. After graduating in 2017, he joined the first cohort of MAPON University in Computer Engineering. Feeling that classroom learning alone was not enough, he spent many hours learning independently in the computer lab, exploring programming, networks, artificial intelligence, and system design.

In 2019, he co-created “Busoga,” a local social network project built in response to the lack of digital platforms adapted to local realities. In 2021, his “Intelligent Virtual Ophthalmologist” project received an innovation award. While working on this healthcare AI project, he faced a major difficulty: the lack of medical datasets adapted to the Congolese context. This experience pushed him to think more deeply about how intelligent systems could still be developed in environments with limited data and resources. These reflections later contributed to the idea he calls “Tradition Learning.”

In December 2025, during DevFest Lubumbashi, Gilbert presented Tradition Learning publicly. The discussions that followed led to the creation of the Tradition Learning Community (TLC), bringing together developers, mathematicians, programmers, and technology enthusiasts interested in exploring practical approaches to AI in low-resource environments.

Alongside his technical work, Gilbert began publishing articles and reflections on intelligent systems, autonomous agents, and applied AI for constrained environments. His interests gradually expanded beyond artificial intelligence alone toward broader questions involving infrastructure, digital accessibility, operational systems, and technological inclusion.

During travels across the Katanga region, including Kolwezi, Likasi, and Kasumbalesa, he became increasingly aware that many African challenges go beyond AI itself. For him, one of the main issues is technological isolation: access to infrastructure, connectivity, stable systems, and operational environments capable of supporting innovation. This experience strengthened his interest in enterprise infrastructure, monitoring systems, and industrial environments.

In 2026, he joined SOMAF Group SARL in Lubumbashi, where he became involved in technical and operational environments linked to critical infrastructure and industrial systems. At the same time, through his experience at Neotex.ai and other applied projects, he continues exploring practical approaches to intelligent systems adapted to African realities.

Today, Gilbert Bemwiz works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, infrastructure, monitoring systems, and operational challenges, with a growing interest in building technological ecosystems adapted to constrained and evolving environments.
