Beyond the Hype: How I’m Actually Using GenAI as an Engineer

Jingran Wang is a Senior Android Developer at Yahoo, Inc., working on the Mail app for Android, and co-organizer of Google Developer Groups Ann Arbor. With over 15 years of Android and Flutter development experience, he started using AI tools in earnest last year.

Join me for a casual, candid talk where I’ll share my personal “aha” moment with Gemini and how—beyond the hype—I’m gradually weaving it into everyday life from an engineer’s point of view. I’ll also touch on early experiences using Claude Code at work, along with real-world anecdotes from current and former colleagues on how they actually use GenAI tools. We’ll wrap up with plenty of time for Q&A and open discussion. You’ll walk away with practical, actionable insights you can apply to your GenAI tool of choice.
