With over 25 years of experience in enterprise software development and AI engineering, I explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we build, learn, and live with technology. I have an old passion for Open Source and more recent one for AI Engineering.
Join us for an engaging and practical panel discussion on integrating security into every stage of the software development lifecycle! This session is all about embracing software security as an integral part of the development process, not just a tick-box exercise. Our distinguished panelists come from a diverse range of backgrounds and will share their unique insights, offering valuable takeaways for all attendees.
Why is this important? Today, security vulnerabilities can lurk in every corner, whether it's a missing patch or a misconfigured setting. This panel will explain how to seamlessly incorporate security practices into coding, testing and deployment. These experts will share practical strategies to enhance your software's security posture immediately, equipping you with the tools you need to do so.
Expect lively interaction! We will encourage questions and real-time feedback, making this a collaborative space where ideas flow freely. Whether you want to understand the latest tools, such as Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), or learn the best ways to prevent vulnerabilities, you will walk away with useful strategies and a clearer path to fortifying your software development process.
Don't miss this chance to improve your development practices and protect your applications. Together, let's make secure software development an objective we can all achieve!

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in software engineering. As AI
agents become capable of generating entire features, the bottleneck is
no longer writing syntax—it is defining intent. This evolution brings
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) back into the spotlight, not as a
bureaucratic documentation step, but as the primary interface for
software creation.
In this panel, we explore the reality of building software when you're
pair programming with an LLM. We will discuss the architectural
implications of moving from imperative coding to declarative
specifications. How do we define unambiguous requirements for
non-deterministic agents? Does "prompt engineering" evolve into rigorous
system design? Join us to discover if the Spec is truly the new Source
of Truth, or just another layer of abstraction to maintain in a world
where code is becoming a commodity.
