Letting AI generate your UI is fast and fun right up until you need it to implement something specific. Throw in strict design systems, your company's existing component library and responsive breakpoints, and the whole process usually falls apart. The good news is that there is a solution. We'll explore what works and what doesn't with agentic coding.

In this session, I’ll explore how AI-powered tooling is transforming large-scale refactoring and codebase migrations, making these complex tasks faster and more efficient. By leveraging tools like Large Language Models (LLMs), static analysis, and refactoring frameworks, we can automate repetitive code transformations, accelerate migration paths, and reduce human error. I’ll share practical examples of how we can migrate legacy systems to modern frameworks, break monolithic architectures into service-based structures, and automate large-scale code changes across thousands of files.

I’ll demonstrate how tools like OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and fine-tuned models for domain-specific transformations can assist in these processes, while still integrating with traditional migration tools and CI/CD systems. I’ll also cover the importance of developer oversight, highlighting lessons learned from real-world production rollouts and how to balance automation with manual reviews.

By the end of the talk, I want attendees to walk away with a clear understanding of how to use AI to enhance their refactoring and migration workflows, ensuring they can handle large-scale transformations while maintaining code quality, consistency, and governance.

With AI and design systems like Figma taking over parts of our workflow, it’s easy for things to get messy fast. In this talk, I’ll share how applying good old Separation of Concern can keep your React apps clean and maintainable, even when AI’s helping with the design and code.

In the fast-paced world of software development, AI tools like Cursor and Qodo are game-changers for building features and boosting productivity. This talk dives into real-life examples of how these tools can fit right into your daily routine, taking care of repetitive tasks, fine-tuning your code, or even building the whole feature for you end to end by an AI agent. By tackling the common struggle of time crunches, these tools help you become a 10x more productive developer. You'll walk away with practical tips and strategies to instantly up your efficiency and teamwork, giving you a fresh take on using AI to tackle everyday coding challenges.
