David Kjerrumgaard is a Developer Advocate at StreamNative and a committer on the Apache Pulsar project, where he focuses on the intersection of real-time data streaming and agentic AI. With over a decade of experience building distributed systems at scale, he helps organizations connect AI agents to the live data and tools they need to operate in production.
David's current work sits at the foundation of an emerging discipline he calls context engineering — the practice of designing data infrastructure for AI agents. He explores how streaming platforms like Apache Pulsar and Apache Kafka serve as the event-driven backbone for multi-agent systems, how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) extends to streaming primitives, and how lakehouse-native architectures make real-time agent infrastructure both reliable and cost-efficient.
He is the author of Pulsar in Action (Manning) and co-author of Practical Hive (Apress), and an active committer on Apache Pulsar with contributions to Apache NiFi. As an internationally recognized speaker, David has presented at conferences worldwide — including NDC London, ApacheCon, Community Over Code, Devoxx, and Data Streaming Summit — and was named a Sessionize Most Active Speaker for 2024.

David's career spans hands-on engineering and technical leadership at companies that have shaped modern data infrastructure. He served as Principal Software Engineer on Splunk's messaging team, focused on real-time data analytics at scale. Prior to Splunk, he led solutions architecture at Streamlio and served as Global Practice Director at Hortonworks, where he architected enterprise-scale streaming and big data platforms for Fortune 500 organizations across financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

His talks combine deep technical content with the practical lessons learned from years of production deployments. Whether explaining how to govern AI agents at the data layer, designing event-driven multi-agent orchestration patterns, or wiring live data streams into LLM context windows, David's sessions are grounded in working code and real-world architectural tradeoffs.
David is passionate about open source as the foundation for the agentic AI era. He believes the same open standards, durable infrastructure, and community-driven evolution that powered the rise of modern data streaming will define how the next generation of AI agents reaches production. Through his writing, speaking, and code contributions, he works to bridge the streaming data community and the emerging agent ecosystem.

Chris Klug has been building software professionally since sometime around 2000, back when .NET was new, CSS was a suggestion, and Roy Fielding’s REST paper had just been published. Since then he has written code for everything from model agencies to online sports betting to professional sail racing, because staying in one industry sounded far too boring.

He has been a Microsoft MVP for something like 15 years (depending on when he last updated this abstract), which either means he knows a thing or two or that he just talks a lot. Possibly both, but we all know the latter is a given. These days he works at Active Solution in Stockholm, helping clients solve problems and build better systems.

When he is not writing code, Chris is usually geeking out on some form of extreme sport like skydiving, kitesurfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or wing foiling. He loves learning new things and spends way too much time thinking about weird stuff most people never even notice.
