[Virtual] PRO Session: Evolving the Engineer: A Leadership Roadmap for the AI Era

Wednesday June 4, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PDT

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek Leadership Main Stage

Andrew Park, Edensoft Labs, Founder

AI is here—and it’s transforming software engineering faster than most leaders are prepared for. GenAI tools like Copilot and Cursor are boosting productivity by automating routine coding tasks, but they’re also contributing to significant layoffs. Pure software engineering roles are under threat, and leaders urgently need a plan to evolve their teams.
In this talk, Andrew Park—a longtime Engineering and Product Leader—delivers a clear, field-tested roadmap for evolving engineers in the AI era. He shows how to help your teams harness AI for speed—while leveling up in the areas GenAI can’t touch: product thinking, system design, craftsmanship, maintainability, and the collaboration skills needed to work across product, design, customers, and dependent teams.
You’ll walk away with a practical strategy for transforming engineering roles and building smaller, more capable teams—enabling your organization to meet executive demands to do more with less, without sacrificing product quality or long-term agility. This is how you secure engineering careers—and your product’s future—in an AI-driven world.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Scaling AI Impact: Productizing AI Agents to Optimize Enterprise Operations

Wednesday June 4, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PDT

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek Leadership Expo Stage

Ram Venkatesh, Sema4.ai, CTO and Co-Founder

Enterprises are pouring billions into AI, yet most deployments fail to scale beyond pilot projects. Traditional automation tools like RPA and co-pilots fall short when it comes to complex, knowledge-driven tasks—leading to stalled adoption, wasted investment, and missed opportunities for true business transformation. Without a smarter approach, AI initiatives will remain stuck in experimentation mode.

In this session, Ram Venkatesh, CTO and co-founder of Sema4.ai, will reveal how AI agents can bridge the gap between business expertise and cutting-edge technology to unlock real, sustainable enterprise value across industries. Unlike traditional automation, AI agents are adaptable, intelligent, and capable of delivering measurable ROI within weeks without disrupting existing systems. By autonomously managing critical end-to-end workflows such as invoice reconciliation, regulatory compliance, and supply chain optimization, these agents accelerate productivity, reduce time to market, and empower organizations to operate with agility and efficiency.

Drawing on decades of experience in enterprise software, distributed systems, and data management, Ram will cover:

• What is the enterprise opportunity for AI - separating out the myth from reality

• Always be shipping - how to get AI implementations all the way to production

• Real-world use cases from Fortune 1000 companies like Koch and Emerson showcasing AI-driven cost savings, operational efficiency, and faster decision-making.

• Why AI agent architecture must center around business owners while also enabling developers—and how this balance drives successful adoption and scale

For business and AI leaders struggling to move beyond proof-of-concept, this session delivers an urgent, actionable roadmap for getting AI agents into production—driving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring AI delivers on its full potential.

[Virtual] PRO Session: The Next Frontier in AI Development: Why Agent Experience (AX) Matters

Wednesday June 4, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PDT

VIRTUAL AI DevSummit Main Stage

Dana Lawson, Netlify, CTO
Julianna Lamb, Stytch, Co-founder and CTO
Aiden Ba, Million.js, Founder
Sean Roberts, Netlify, Distinguished Engineer

Agent experience (AX) is the holistic experience AI agents will have as the user of a product or platform. AI agents are reshaping software development, but today’s developer tools and platforms weren't built for them. For AI agents to truly be effective, we need to craft our products with AX in mind. How do we design platforms, APIs, and workflows that help AI agents operate effectively? While DX optimized tools for humans, AX challenges us to rethink systems for AI-first development.
This panel brings together experts in AI infrastructure, developer tooling, and LLMs to discuss:
-Introduction to Agent Experience (AX)
-The current limitations of AI agents when building, deploying, and iterating software.
-How platforms might need to evolve to support AI-native workflows.
-The tensions between human-driven and AI-driven development—and what collaboration could look like.
-The early signs of AX in today’s AI-powered development landscape.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI): Hasura -- Path Towards 100% Accurate & Repeatable Data Agents for AI

Wednesday June 4, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PDT

VIRTUAL AI DevSummit Main Stage

Praveen Durairaju, Hasura, Field CTO

Achieving 100% accuracy in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is critical for AI agents handling complex workflows. But most RAG architectures fail due to goal drift, incomplete reasoning, and multi-step errors.
In this session, we will cover:
Why traditional RAG and tool-calling approaches break down in real-world AI workflows.
Agentic query planning: A structured approach to eliminate errors and improve reliability.
Benchmarking results: The path to achieve 100% accuracy where existing approaches fall short, backed by benchmarks.
Engineering strategies for verifiable, repeatable AI workflows.
We’ll walk through real-world examples and show how structured planning and separate execution fixes common RAG failures.

Live Demo: See how PromptQL ensures accurate, repeatable AI actions in production environments.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Evolving Databricks’ Kubernetes Infrastructure to Scale AI Workloads via Principled Platform Abstrac

Wednesday June 4, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PDT

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek Leadership Expo Stage

Sourav Khandelwal, Databricks, Software Engineer

In the age of large-scale AI—where workloads like LLM model serving and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) demand massive compute capacity on short notice—efficient, reliable, and self-service infrastructure is essential. At Databricks, we faced the challenge of orchestrating a rapidly growing fleet of Kubernetes clusters spanning multiple clouds, regions, and use cases to power AI-driven solutions. The result was a patchwork of manual processes that were both costly in engineering hours and prone to human error.

In this session, you’ll learn how at Databricks, we overcame these challenges by building principled platform abstractions—clean, self-serve interfaces that application teams can use to provision, configure, and manage their Kubernetes clusters in a standardized, automated way. We’ll detail our journey from fragmented workflows to a scalable infrastructure platform that underpins products such as LLM model serving and RAG, allowing for quick, repeatable scale-out of AI-driven workloads.

We’ll also share the hard lessons learned, including the trade-offs between flexibility and uniformity, as well as strategies for ensuring consistent cluster management patterns across diverse environments. By highlighting how these platform abstractions free up engineering resources and streamline high-demand AI use cases, we’ll showcase how this approach accelerates product development cycles while simplifying day-to-day operations.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: The Road to Use OpenTelemetry for LLM Observability

Wednesday June 4, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PDT

VIRTUAL AI DevSummit Expo Stage

Nir Gazit, Traceloop, CEO

If 2024 is the year of LLMs, then 2025 will be the year Agents. With the rise MCP, A2A and numerous other protocols, the need to monitor and comprehend their behaviors intensifies.

Observability plays a crucial role in this context. It involves the systematic collection and analysis of data to enhance LLM performance, identify and correct biases, troubleshoot issues, and ensure AI systems are both reliable and trustworthy.

In this discussion, we will explore the concept of LLM observability in depth, focusing on how OpenTelemetry can fit into the world of LLM observability . Additionally, we will talk about challenges around modeling of prompts, completions, events, semantic conventions, and basically our path with the llm-sem-conv working group.
