FrontMuc: 2025 wrap-up
Details
Dear Frontiers,
I am happy to announce our next FrontMuc meetup 2025 wrap up edition, which will be held on November 25th at Celonis HQ, Theresienstr. 6, 80333 Munich. It will be an On-Site event only.
18:30 to 19:00 check-in/registration, food, drinks, kindly offered by our host.
19:05 - 19:10 Welcome words by Uliana and Celonis Team.
19:15 Talk 1: Lukas Heddendorp, Sr. Frontend Engineer @Celonis Labs
Title: I Gave an AI my Figma File, and All I Got Was This Lousy 'div'
Description: The dream is a seamless flow from Figma design to a fully composed screen. The reality often involves an AI ignoring your entire component library.
This session provides a practical method for bridging that gap, offering concrete strategies to make an AI assistant a useful partner for screen composition. To demonstrate this, I'll share my hands-on experience getting an AI to build a complex layout in Angular. We'll start with a simple prompt and watch the predictable failures, then I'll walk through the essential steps of layering context—from screenshots to a fully-connected design system.
You'll leave knowing how a context-aware setup gets us much closer to reliable, component-based code, and what challenges still remain to make this process truly seamless.
19:45 Talk 2: Syed Iqrar Raza Zaidi, Principal Engineer - Frontend, Tamara
Title: Scalable Frontend Architecture
Abstract: I will share what it takes to build a Scalable Frontend Architecture that grows with your product, not against it.
From designing clean, modular layers to taming the chaos of state management, this talk explores how to keep your codebase healthy and your developers happy. Expect real-world lessons on how to draw boundaries that actually hold and build tooling that boosts productivity instead of blocking it.
20:15 - 20:25 Break
20:25 Talk 3: Nikolay Vitkov, Software Engineer at Chrome DevTools Team @Google
Title: Chrome DevTools MCP
Intro: While AI Models are becoming more and more sufficient about generating code.
However there is still a fundamental problem, they don't have access to the browser and can't test if something really works. Chrome DevTools MCP changes that as it exposes the runtime data necessary to
testing and debugging.
20:30 - 21:00 Talk 4 Hayk Yaghubyan, Lead Software Engineer at casavi GmbH
Title: "Building a Frontend Design System That Scales"
Intro: A deep dive into the engineering side of design systems, exploring how to architect, build, and scale a frontend system that teams truly adopt.
21:30 - Closing of the event, Networking 15-20min
!Important update!
To cultivate a respectful signup ratio for ordering food/drinks and arranging the seats according to the max.capacity of the venue, and a massive increase in the pricing model of the Meetup platform since June 2024 (here is more info, Standard: 174$/yearly or Pro: 282$/6 months). So I added a 1€ fee for each person who is willing to support FrontMuc efforts.
But If you can't support FrontMuc - it's not a problem, register at [lu.ma](https://luma.com/h55jvrbj) page.
Reserve a spot! Seats are limited to 70 attendees!
