From Spaghetti to Ravioli: AI-Guided Refactoring with nWave

For this online event, we will have the opportunity to receive Alessandro Di Gioia and Michele Brissoni as speakers.

After a brief introduction of our community, Alessandro and Michele will deep dive on AI-Guided Refactoring with nWave.

Abstract:
You inherited a legacy codebase. Business wants a new feature yesterday. Sound familiar?

In this live-coded session, Alessandro Di Gioia and Michele Brissoni show how nWave.ai, an orchestrated Agentic AI-coding assistant built on Claude Code (and not only), tackles the real-world challenge of adding features to tangled code.

Starting from a monolithic React ticket-booking system, we'll refactor with confidence and implement a new feature, live. No slides. No safety net. Just a legacy codebase, an AI orchestrator guided by two crafters who trust the process of modern agentic AI-coding.

Whether you're an AI-skeptic or an early adopter, you'll leave with a practical, repeatable workflow for modernizing code with confidence.
