- **Event Description**: LJC Meet-ups  is a new series of events, aimed at giving all Community members an opportunity to present at an LJC event.About this EventJoin us on 26th February 2026 for a London Java Community meetup hosted at Capital One. This event brings together practitioners exploring what it means to build modern, cloud‑native platforms and work effectively with AI‑powered development tools.As cloud adoption matures and AI coding agents become embedded in engineering workflows, this evening focuses on two critical themes: architecting for cloud‑native efficiency and leveraging AI agents more effectively in real‑world development.Talk 1 – Tom Clifford‑Clarke, Lead Software Development Engineer at Capital OneKeeping our heads in the cloud, using AI agents on the groundMany organisations operate entirely in the cloud — but far fewer are truly cloud‑native. As architectures evolve and AI becomes a core concern, the gap between “running in the cloud” and “optimising for it” becomes increasingly costly.Tom explores why robust architectural patterns and standards are non‑negotiable today. Drawing on Capital One’s journey, he’ll cover practical approaches to Event‑Driven Architecture, serverless adoption, and service cataloguing strategies that unlock scalability, efficiency, and AI readiness — while improving the developer experience.Talk 2 – Steve Poole, Community Director at LJCAI-Assisted Development and the New Risk SurfaceAI-assisted coding is now a standard part of development. It accelerates delivery and reduces friction, but it also changes how risk enters our codebases.AI models replicate patterns at scale, including insecure defaults, outdated practices, and subtle flaws. In some cases, attackers can influence public training data or open-source projects, allowing weaknesses to spread quietly through tools and libraries developers trust.This talk looks at how AI-generated code fits into the modern software supply chain, and how speed, automation, and trust can be exploited. We'll examine how vulnerabilities slip past reviews, why unvetted AI output can bypass safeguards, and what these failures look like in real systems.With real-world examples, we'll focus on practical ways to review, test, and integrate AI-generated code responsibly. Strengthening your workflow instead of undermining it.AI isn't the problem. Unexamined automation is.The goal is not fear, but sharper judgment about when AI is helping, and when it needs a closer look.Speaker BiosTom Clifford‑ClarkeLead Software Development Engineer at Capital One.
