Build and Grow: Workshop

Build and Grow: Workshop is a community-led, hands-on learning experience designed to help developers strengthen their fundamentals while building skills that scale in real-world production environments.

This workshop focuses on modern frontend architecture and practical GenAI system design—bridging performance-driven web development with intelligent, reliable AI applications.

Developers across Frontend, Backend, and AI/ML, and at varying experience levels, will find actionable takeaways they can immediately apply to their projects.

Attending the workshop is not mandatory to participate in the Build and Grow AI Hackathon.

What will you learn?

1. From Python Scripts to Intelligent Applications

Workshop: Building Reliable GenAI Systems - By Antrixsh Gupta

Large Language Models are powerful, but on their own, they can be unreliable, unstructured, and hard to integrate into real software systems.

This workshop demonstrates how Python acts as the control layer to turn LLMs into dependable, production-ready applications.

You’ll learn how to:

• Ground AI responses using real documents and data

• Enforce structured and predictable outputs

• Manage reliability, cost, and failure modes

• Move beyond prompt-based demos into real GenAI systems 

By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to design and build intelligent applications that actually work in real-world scenarios.

2. React, Reimagined: Performance, SEO, and Architecture with Next.js - By Yash Garudkar

This session dives deep into how Next.js reshapes the way modern React applications are built.

You’ll explore how to architect applications for performance, scalability, and SEO using Next.js features such as server components, routing strategies, rendering patterns, and data-fetching techniques.

The workshop emphasizes practical decision-making—when to render on the server vs client, how to structure apps for long-term maintainability, and how to deliver fast, discoverable user experiences without compromising developer velocity.

Networking & Collaborations

Connect with speakers and fellow developers after the sessions.

Discuss architecture choices, GenAI challenges, and real-world implementation strategies—while building meaningful professional connections.

Who Should Attend?

• Frontend developers working with React and Next.js

• Backend developers exploring GenAI integration

• AI/ML practitioners interested in practical application design

• Anyone looking to build scalable, production-ready systems

Basic familiarity with React, Python, and LLM concepts is helpful but not mandatory.
