Critical Engineering: The Myth of Ireneo Funes — Redefining the SDLC, Operations (SRE), and Engineering Education
When autonomous agents make writing code nearly free, the cost of verifying and integrating that code becomes infinite. This presentation examines the modern computing crisis: running AI-scale agentic workloads on legacy, human-centric architectures.

As AI code generation accelerates into a high-throughput firehose, traditional CI/CD pipelines, SRE verification methods, and syntax-heavy academic curricula are defaulting under the weight of unbridled technical debt.

The talk introduces Adversarial & Critical Engineering—a paradigm shift moving engineers from line-by-line coders to system architects who enforce strict structural invariants, machine-scale verification, and zero-trust delivery pipelines

Flutter, Antigravity SDK, and GenUI, a vibe coding exploration 
Sometimes you look at a set of technologies and wonder "What happens if I glue them all together?" With the power of Google Antigravity we can find out together!

In this presentation we will find out that Flutter and GenUI, a framework for having agents generate user interface on the fly, works really well with Antigravity SDK, which is an easy way to bring the power of Google Antigravity into your applications.

Making Antigravity skills for unusual file formats
You have a domain-specific configuration file. Or maybe a local data file. Wouldn't it be neat if you could ask your friendly LLM questions about the data in that file? 

In this presentation I'll show you how to use Google Antigravity to build an Agent Skill with a custom Python tool to make conversing with your data effortless.

How to find us:
