### Agentic SDLC with GitHub Copilot
Speaker: Burak Unuvar
This session explores how GitHub Copilot enables an agentic software development lifecycle, where software delivery tasks can be executed end to end, from issue assignment to pull request creation.
The talk will include a live demonstration of Copilot in action across multiple surfaces, including the IDE, UI, and CLI, while highlighting multi-model and multi-agent capabilities from providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
About Burak
Burak draws boxes and lines and says the word “Kubernetes” a lot. Recently, he has been prompting heavily while letting GitHub Copilot do the magic.

### GitHub Copilot as an Incident Triage Teammate
Speaker: Farid Nouri Neshat
We would all appreciate having a fast teammate who can help troubleshoot incidents and find the needle in the haystack.
This talk will demonstrate how to build your own automated agent with GitHub Copilot. The agent can be triggered by alerts, safely gather vital context from observability tools, cloud APIs, and runbooks, and then provide actionable next steps directly to your team.
About Farid
Farid is a freelance cloud engineer with around 15 years of combined experience. He started his journey in full-stack development with Node.js and gradually shifted toward backend engineering and AWS infrastructure.

### Presentation From tab completion to AI workforce
Speaker: Radek Radosław Kowalski
Ten months ago, when Radek and his team launched their project under a tight deadline and limited budget, it seemed nearly impossible. Fortunately, it was 2025—and agentic coding tools were ready to help.
The team embraced these tools as a lifeline, developing a workflow where engineers and AI agents built software side by side. The result: delivery ahead of schedule and within budget.
In this talk, Radek shares how the team’s approach evolved, the practical strategies they developed, and the lessons they learned to overcome constraints in time and cost.
About Radek
Over a 20+ year career in IT, Radek has grown from software engineer to architect to senior leader—before returning to the trenches to embrace the AI revolution and shape it firsthand. In the past year, he has helped organizations and engineering teams embed AI into both their business and daily workflows.
