Region 3 Women in Engineering Monthly Meeting
Stay Connected. Stay Informed. Stay Engaged.
Join our Region-wide monthly Women in Engineering (WiE) Affinity Group (AG) meetings where you can connect with fellow WiE members, stay informed about events and opportunities, and contribute to IEEE Region 3's WiE community.
At our meetings, you can expect:
- Region 3 Updates: Learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities within our Region.
- Member Spotlights: Hear from WiE members about their career journeys, research projects, or IEEE volunteer experiences.
- Open Forum: Share your ideas, concerns, and suggestions for improving our WiE community and supporting its mission to increase women's and girls' participation in STEM fields.
- Speaker Series: We're excited to introduce a speaker series featuring members who will share their expertise, insights, and passions.
These meetings are for you, our WiE members. The Region 3 WiE AG is working to create a supportive and engaging environment where you can connect, learn, grow, and impact the world together.

Autonomous SRE with Safety Guardrails
Autonomous agents are reshaping incident response and infrastructure
management, but deploying AI-driven SRE in regulated financial systems
introduces novel challenges: safety, explainability, and compliance
drift. This presentation covers:
1. Why traditional alert-driven SRE breaks down at scale and how
autonomous agents powered by causal inference solve this
2. The critical safety challenge: why unguarded AI agents create
regulatory risk in finance and how to implement guardrails
3. Building knowledge graphs from incident data using language models
for proactive prevention
4. The emerging career path for engineers transitioning into
autonomous systems roles
Biography:
Ajay is an IEEE Senior Member with 8-12 years of experience in SRE and
cloud-native infrastructure. My research focuses on AI-driven
reliability engineering for regulated financial systems. I have
published five peer-reviewed papers on causal inference, LLM-powered
incident intelligence, compliance automation, and predictive
analytics. I maintain several open-source tools for autonomous SRE
(agentsre, sre-agent, ai-sre-guardrails) and hold a pending utility
patent for safety guardrails in autonomous systems.
