About us
PyData Sofia Meetups are monthly events organized with the purpose to meet and talk about Python, Data Science, AI and other interesting topics. The format revolves around one talk and a few hours of networking. We believe that discussions are key to the development of specialists in our areas and direct talks to peers bring a lot of value. As a meetup, we strive to build an inclusive environment where everyone is free to join, not only as a member, but as a speaker as well. We invite everyone, including first-time speakers, students, junior engineers, to share with the community their ideas, knowledge but also problems and questions.
About PyData:
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

## What can you expect?
This hands-on workshop explores how modern AI tools are changing everyday software engineering. Participants will see practical, real-world examples of how developers use tools like Kiro, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Cursor to write, debug, refactor, and understand code more efficiently.
The session focuses on concrete use cases - speeding up feature development, improving code quality, navigating large codebases, and integrating AI into existing development cycles. It will give attendees a clear view of what “AI-augmented development” looks like in practice.## Who will present?
We have 4 speakers :
- Rosen Krumov
- Borislava Bagaliyska
- Petar Ivanov
- Viktor Botev
Soon we will announce a bit more about the concrete expertize and focus of each of them!
