Alessandra Pasini is a Solutions Architect at AWS based in Zurich, specializing in analytics and AI/ML solutions. She works with leading European companies on cloud transformation and has a strong passion for public speaking, regularly presenting on topics including data strategy, Kiro, AI-guided development, and generative AI solutions. She is also dedicated to empowering the next generation of technologists through mentorship and community engagement.
In the age of AI, developers are increasingly leveraging agentic AI experiences to build their products. The boundaries between software engineering disciplines have become thinner than ever, enabling teams to move from idea to production rapidly. With the release of Kiro, developers can now build and edit their code as a spec, interact with the in-IDE assistant, and delegate complex tasks with confidence. In this talk, we'll explore how to maximize AI-guided development with Kiro and transform your development workflow.
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.
