AI-Native Engineering: Building Software with AI Agents and Spec-Driven Development

Most engineers are using AI the wrong way. They paste code into a chat, accept whatever comes back, and ship it. That works fine, right up until it doesn't. The AI makes things up, the code ends up doing something different from what was asked, and nobody can figure out why.

What happens when an AI has access to a Node.js environment? Spoiler: wild things

Give an AI access to a real Node.js runtime, and things start to get interesting. It can run code, install packages, generate files, and even launch servers on the fly. In this talk, you will see how I built a Node.js Sandbox server powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that connects AI to real tools and data in a safe, controlled way.

Agents Building Agents

Building an AI agent for a real team is not a prompt problem, it is a systems problem. In this session we walk through a practical, production-minded workflow for building an agent using a coding agent, and designing the codebase so that this loop stays reliable as complexity grows.

Creating videos... with React!

I bet you've always used React to build websites and applications, right? What if I told you that we can also edit a movie with it! Learn how a simple render engine built in React and Node.js works to make videos using React components.

Simplify Authentication & Authorization with Open Source tools

Backend developers regularly face the challenge of implementing secure authentication and authorization. While solutions like Auth0 and Keycloak are popular, new open-source projects like Logto are emerging as strong contenders.

From Senior Engineer to Tech Lead: close the gap and grow in the role

In this talk, we'll look at what it takes to move from being a Senior Engineer to a Tech Lead. We'll start by exploring the Senior Engineer role, covering what's expected and which technical and personal skills are needed to do well. Then, we'll meet Bob, a Senior Engineer who wants to become a Tech Lead but feels like it's a big leap.
