AI is transforming the global software industry, enabling developers to become more productive than ever before. Large engineering organizations must now adapt to leverage these opportunities and keep pace with this evolution .For engineering leaders, this transformation presents both opportunities and challenges. The shift to AI-assisted development requires thoughtful consideration to accelerate quality, productivity and collaboration.

As AI accelerates projects, we're likely to see a shift toward more product complexity and larger codebases rather than simply faster delivery. This is a pivotal moment for individual developers and organizations to share their experience going through this major paradigm shift.

Drawing from personal experience and Hinge Health's journey as a large React Native team, this talk presents practical strategies for managing the transition to AI-assisted development in a large engineering organization. We'll explore how AI is transforming our product development pipeline through changes in developer productivity and satisfaction, CI, technical writing, project planning, and tooling to handle growing codebase complexity.

Learn how to integrate React Native into an existing mobile app! During the workshop, we’ll cover the principles of brownfield integration, its configuration, practical challenges, and more.

From legacy CI/CD infrastructure to lightning-fast Expo EAS: discover how we transformed our enterprise React Native build system while dramatically reducing both build times and infrastructure costs. This talk walks through our journey integrating Expo EAS with GitHub Actions, and creating a modern native app workflow that scales with development needs. You'll leave with practical strategies for migrating complex build systems, optimizing CI/CD performance, and measuring the real impact on developer productivity.

The talk will walk through users on the New Architecture of React Native and will explain a bit the migration path.
