Thrilled to be speaking at Neo4j NODES 2025! On November 6th, I'll be presenting "From Spaghetti to Structure: Decoding Complex Codebases with Graphs and GenAI" We've all been there - staring at a sprawling codebase, trying to understand how everything connects. In this session, I'll show how combining graph technology with generative AI can turn chaotic code into something comprehensible and maintainable. Whether you're dealing with legacy systems, onboarding new developers, or just trying to understand your own code from six months ago, this talk will offer some fresh perspectives. Join me to explore how graphs and AI are changing the way we understand and work with complex software systems. #Neo4j #NODES2025 #GraphDB #GenAI #TechTalk

We were represented by Rosemary J Thomas, PhD, at the Hays "AI for Leadership" event in Belfast earlier this week, where she shared an important message: “If it isn’t ethical, it’s not ready.” As a Senior Technical Researcher in our AI Labs, Rosemary focuses on making sure AI is developed and used in a responsible way. AI continues to change how we work, so it’s critical that ethics guide every step from design to delivery. Events like this help leaders learn how to turn ethical ideas into real action. We’re proud to have people like Rosemary leading the way in creating safe, responsible innovation.
