Mohit is a Sr SDE at Siemens, where he does research on multi-agent systems for Industrial and Physical AI — designing the agents and the evaluation stack (scorers and all) that measures whether they actually work. Before that he shipped production agentic AI at AWS — a tool-using agent for Amazon Ads and generative AI for HealthScribe in regulated clinical workflows. On his own time he's building Switchboard, born from a simple conviction: today's tooling treats agents as features you invoke, when they should be participants you address. He's here to argue that your agents need an @handle, not a toolbar slot.

As a hands-on AI leader in MLOps, On-Device AI, and Generative AI, I have built and led high-performing teams at top-tier technology firms through complex technical challenges. I design and deploy AI/ML products and strategies that deliver measurable business value while integrating seamlessly into existing product infrastructures. I bring strong executive acumen, aligning technical innovation with business priorities, translating complex AI concepts for senior leadership, and driving decisions that balance scalability, risk, and ROI.
At F5, I work in the AI Center of Excellence, where I prototype proof-of-concept AI solutions and integrate them with product teams. I built an AI system that brings intelligence to application infrastructure at fleet scale, automatically interpreting configurations to surface insights that are otherwise hard to extract manually across large deployments. I also prototyped work augmenting F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP with specialized AI classifiers for web and API protection, including LLM-era threats like prompt injection, under a safety-first design where no single signal can autonomously block traffic.
At Rockwell Automation, I developed AI-driven manufacturing solutions that improved user experience while reducing operational costs. At Microsoft, I enhanced ML workflows through automation and built training programs that bridged knowledge gaps across pre-sales and engineering teams. At Samsung SDS, I helped launch the first enterprise big data platform in the U.S.
My work has earned multiple recognitions, including HP's 2025 Innovation Speaker award, Rockwell's GenAI Hackathon win, Microsoft's Quarterly Award, and Best Speaker at Microsoft's Internal ML Conference.

Nasly Duarte is a Miami-based operations accountant with 20 years of experience across construction, insurance restoration, manufacturing, retail, and trade services. These are the same physical environments now being transformed by autonomous systems, humanoid robotics, and smart building technology.

She is the founder of Mindful Dollar, a financial architecture firm that designs autonomous operating systems for business owners under the principle of Doing More With Less. Her work sits at the intersection of how physical operations generate financial data, how that data moves through an organization, and how AI systems are beginning to act on it without human checkpoints.

Nasly is pursuing her BS in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Miami Dade College, home of Florida's first applied AI degree program. Her academic work focuses on transaction systems for autonomous financial workflows.

Two decades of sedentary desk work did real damage to her body before she understood the cost. That experience became the foundation of her Balance Problem framework, which identifies the physical health crisis hiding inside every conversation about the future of knowledge work. She documents her recovery and research publicly through her Think Like a Healer series.

She is the originator of two futurist frameworks shaping her speaking practice.

1. The Interchange describes the coming convergence of tech workers acquiring trade skills and trade workers acquiring AI tools — not because the market forces them to, but because their bodies and brains require it.

2. Buildings Are the New Computers argues that physical environments are already the most undervalued data infrastructure in the AI economy, and that the workers generating that data deserve equity in the systems being built from it.

Her talks challenge organizations to stop training workers for the economy of five years ago and start positioning workers as equity participants in the AI systems being built today. She brings to every stage the perspective of someone who has spent two decades inside the operations layer, not observing it from the outside.

She is based in Florida and speaks nationally on autonomous business systems, smart building economics, workforce equity in the AI economy, the Balance Problem, The Interchange, and financial architecture for the autonomous enterprise.

Jake Butler builds software where getting the details wrong has real consequences.

He is the founder of Corvo Labs and the builder behind the lower dB (thelowerdb.com), an independent editorial intelligence desk for people navigating GLP-1 medications — no affiliate rankings, no sponsored content, no clinic partnerships. the lower dB runs on an 11-stage AI editorial pipeline with human review at every publish decision.

He also built FreshProof, a claim verification and freshness-monitoring system that extracts factual claims from published content, verifies them against tiered sources, and tracks when they’re likely to go stale. FreshProof powers post-publish verification for the lower dB and is designed as a standalone API for content teams in healthcare, legal, finance, and general domains.

Jake cares about the craft details most people never notice: the difference between a fluent draft and a sourced article, between a model benchmark score and a production-safe extraction pipeline, and between AI-assisted software and AI slop with a domain name.
