TechBrews at Entain

Keynote Talk: Agile at the AI Inflection Point
Speaker: Suresh Konduru (TedEx Speaker)
Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence changes how Agile organizations plan, build, and deliver products. Current trends show teams using AI for backlog drafting, gathering insights during sprints, testing support, and delivery metrics. Speed rises, but decision quality still depends on human judgment.
This session explains the shift Agile professionals face across teams and organizational transformation. You will learn how roles evolve, how leadership changes, and which capabilities guide learning and outcomes. The session also presents a practical roadmap for the next twelve months so organizations can build AI literacy, apply safe use cases, and strengthen decision ownership.

Talk Title: The Next Era of Agile Intelligence: When AI Expands Capability
Speaker: Krishna Chaitanya Rupavatharam
Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence is dramatically accelerating software development. Code generation, rapid prototyping, and automated testing are reducing the effort required to build products. As execution becomes faster and more accessible, speed alone is no longer the differentiator.
This session explores how Agile thinking must evolve in an AI-accelerated world. Through a live interactive experiment, participants will experience how systems built quickly can behave very differently when subjected to real-world pressure and scale.
The session introduces a practical perspective on how product leaders, engineering leaders, and Agile practitioners can work together to design resilient systems, guide intelligent automation, and build organizations that learn faster than their competitors.

When AI Writes the Code, Who Designs the System?

AI coding tools can now generate functions, services, and sometimes entire repositories in seconds. Writing code is becoming easier and faster than ever.
But good systems are not just code.

Architecture — defining system boundaries, data flows, failure modes, operational constraints, and long-term maintainability — still requires engineering judgement and a holistic view of the system. In fact, as AI generates more code, architecture becomes even more critical. Missing context, unclear constraints, or weak guardrails can quickly lead to fragile systems at scale.

> For this edition of TechBrews, we want to explore how teams are thinking about system design and architecture in the era of AI-assisted engineering.

We're looking for talks on topics such as:

• Designing systems when AI generates large portions of the implementation
• Architecture guardrails for AI-assisted development
• Preventing fragile systems caused by missing context in AI-generated code
• How system design practices evolve when code becomes cheap
• Code review and governance in the AI coding era
• Engineering workflows that combine AI productivity with architectural rigor
• Where AI helps — and where engineering judgement is still critical
• Any strong architecture or system design topic with practical takeaways — AI-related or otherwise

We especially welcome real-world experiences, lessons learned, and practical approaches from teams building and operating production systems.
