He is focusing on helping organizations implementing Microsoft technologies like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, and sharing his knowledge and experience from the field with the community

Session: Building Cloud Infrastructure with AI — and how to avoid disaster

Development using AI agents may lead to great disasters. Well-Architected Frameworks is as close to being a lifesaver when building modern cloud platforms. In combination with next generation AI coding agents, and smart usage of tools like Azure Verified Modules, and Context Engineering, I will demonstrate how you can achieve the best possible collaboration in organizations that require full end-to-end control over cost, security, resilience, management, and performance.

Speaker - Iryna Tyshchenko | Software Engineer @Microsoft

Session: Spec Driven Development(SDD): Why Specs Matter More Than Prompts

Most teams use AI agents with vibe coding—prompt-based development—and spend weeks debugging and fixing what was generated. In this session, I'll explain why that fails and show you how to do better. I'll cover Spec-Driven Development and walk you through the Spec Kit workflow: a simple process where I define what you need through clarifying questions, plan the work, generate artifacts, and then code it.

You'll learn:
Why specifications prevent rework and reduce debugging time
Why reviews move faster when everyone agrees upfront
Why teams develop features faster overall
How new team members understand design decisions without asking questions
Why your code stays consistent across the codebase

I'll walk through the demo workflow step by step, show how you can apply it to real projects, and demonstrate how it solves these problems—whether you're building something new or fixing legacy code.
