DIY electronics is about more than getting an LED to blink—it’s about learning how to solve real engineering problems. In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 session, Shirley shares the lessons she learned transitioning from software engineering to DIY electronics and IoT, highlighting the challenges that many "beginner-friendly" tutorials leave out.

From outdated documentation and hardware troubleshooting to confusing error messages and abandoned libraries, this talk explores how to move beyond step-by-step guides and develop the mindset of an engineer. A must-watch for makers, developers, educators, and anyone starting their journey in electronics and open hardware.

Generic LLM judges work well for broad tasks. In domain-specific settings, they often miss the nuance that subject matter experts care about.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on evaluating a RAG agent with MLflow. In Part 1, we built the evaluation pipeline: traces, ground truth, multi-framework scorers, and a custom ChildAppropriateness judge. In Part 2, we close the loop with the alignment lifecycle: aligning that judge to SME standards using MemAlign.

What this video covers:
• Use case: The same RAG agent from Part 1 (assumes you already registered the judge and ran an initial evaluation)
• Why generic LLM-as-a-judge scorers drift from expert standards in domain-specific evaluation
• The three-stage alignment lifecycle: judge assessment → SME feedback → MemAlign alignment
• Collecting SME feedback on traces in MLflow (UI and programmatically with mlflow.log_feedback)
• Aligning the ChildAppropriateness judge with human feedback using MemAlign (semantic + episodic memory)
• Re-running evaluation with the aligned judge to improve domain-specific scoring
• How the evaluation-driven development loop and alignment lifecycle work together
