LA Tech Week 2026 — Google for Developers Codelabs & AI Workshops

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Workshop Overview

At LA Tech Week 2026, Google for Startups and Google for Developers hosted hands-on codelab tracks for enterprise founders, engineers, and technical leaders. Alongside fellow Google Developer Expert Kiruthika Subramani, I co-instructed two interactive technical workshops detailing how to build production-grade agentic architectures with Google Cloud and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Workshop 1: Location Intelligence ADK Agent with MCP Servers

Interactive Presentation & Teleprompter:
Official Google Codelab:
Core Technologies: Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), BigQuery Geospatial Data, Google Maps Grounding Lite MCP, Gemini 2.5 Flash

Architectural Focus

Agent Development Kit (ADK) Core: Structuring autonomous agents with schema-enforced tool interfaces, state persistence, and error-recovery loops.
BigQuery MCP Integration: Bridging spatial data warehouses with natural language queries—enabling dynamic SQL generation, bounding box filtering, and spatial joins over enterprise logistics tables without manual query plumbing.
Google Maps Grounding Lite MCP: Validating place details, computing multi-modal travel times, and grounding model answers against live physical coordinates.
Production Guardrails: Rate-limiting spatial queries, handling disconnected MCP sessions, and sanitizing agent reasoning steps.

Workshop 2: Command & Control: Gemini, MCP & Agentic CLI

Interactive Presentation & Teleprompter:
Official Google Codelab:
Core Technologies: Antigravity CLI (agy), Developer Knowledge MCP, Agent Skills, Nano Banana 2 Image Gen, Google Cloud Run

Architectural Focus

Headless Agent Orchestration: Driving terminal-first agentic developer loops with Antigravity CLI (agy), managing multi-step project scaffolding and debugging sessions.
Developer Knowledge MCP: Exposing local codebase indexing, symbol trees, and architecture specs to agent runtimes without manual context dumping.
Multimodal Generation & Deployment: Chaining multimodal synthesis via Nano Banana 2 for visual assets directly into automated container packaging and deployment to Google Cloud Run.
Composable Agent Skills: Packaging reusable capability modules across teams to enforce testing, security, and deployment standards across agent prompts.

Reception & Industry Feedback

“Google for Startups and Google for Developers take over #LATECHWEEK… Thanks to my GDEs Rabimba Karanjai and Kiruthika Subramani for providing such wonderful and thought driven codelabs.” — Marty Fortier, Google Developer Ecosystem / Startup Lead

“LA TECH WEEK by a16z was hands-on. We built small tools around real questions from our day-to-day, like which truck a load needs and how to read proof-of-delivery paperwork faster, and got a map agent running in the cloud in a guided codelab… Thank you to Rabimba Karanjai and Kiruthika Subramani, our instructors in the Google for Developers codelabs.” — Elizabeth Moscoso, Founder & Logistics Operator

ConferenceRank

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

is a unified platform for discovering, evaluating, and tracking computer science conference and journal venues. It aggregates public ranking and bibliometric data into an accessible, interactive interface backed by programmatic APIs.

Key Features

Conference & Journal Rankings — Complete CORE / ICORE rankings (A*, A, B, C) with historical tier tracking, side-by-side with SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) quartiles (Q1–Q4), H-index, and FoR discipline categories.
Venue & Journal Suggester — Abstract-matching engine using TF-IDF and discipline lexicons to recommend stretch, target, and safe venues for an upcoming paper.
Deadlines & Watchlist — Submission countdowns normalized to Anywhere on Earth (AoE), with 1-click Google Calendar sync, .ics export, and zero-login local browser watchlists.
Acceptance Rate Trends — Decades of acceptance statistics (submitted, accepted, rates) for leading venues across systems, AI/ML, security, databases, theory, and graphics.

Built for AI Agents

ConferenceRank is machine-consumable out of the box:

MCP Server (npx conferencerank-mcp) — Exposes six typed tools for MCP-compatible agents: search_venues, get_venue, compare_venues, suggest_venues, upcoming_deadlines, and acceptance_stats.
Static JSON API — CDN-cached endpoints for conferences, journals, and upcoming deadlines, regenerated on weekly automated GitHub Actions runs.
Agent Skill & llms.txt — Ships full instructions and machine-readable context for agentic workflows.
