AI4Devs Interviews - Part 2 (#80)

This is part 2 of the interviews recorded on September 19th, 2025, at the first AI4Devs Conference (https://amsterdam.ai4devs.io/) in Amsterdam. In Part 1, we explored many AI-related topics as libraries, security, infrastructure, use cases, and more. In this second part, we'll dive into data science, tools for better AI development, Java in the cloud, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the conference came together. 

I also asked these guests the same opening question: 'What's your name, and what brings you to this conference?'
