AI Engineering Salon
Join us for an interactive AI Engineering Salon where software professionals, tinkerers, and technologists come together to explore the cutting edge of AI-assisted development. This hands-on workshop will focus on tools like Cursor, the AI-native code editor, and other emerging platforms that are reshaping how engineers design, debug, and ship code. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting to experiment with AI, this event is designed to level up your productivity through live demos, curated challenges, and real-world examples.
Attendees can expect guided mini-workshops, paired experimentation, and open knowledge exchange. We'll explore how AI tools can streamline boilerplate, unlock creative coding patterns, and help you focus on what matters most — solving real problems. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and your questions. You'll leave with actionable workflows, deeper insight into AI-powered engineering practices, and a stronger connection to a community of forward-thinking builders.
