The One About Agentic Software Development Workflows (ft. Sonar & Resaro)
AI Agents are reshaping software engineering at an unprecedented rate of adoption. As AI becomes the primary author of next-generation software, how do we ensure reliability, verification, and trust in a world where code is written 10× faster?
Join us for an exclusive Lorong AI lunchtime session with Dr. Harry Wang (Chief Growth Officer, Sonar) and Dr. Ridwan Shariffdeen (Principal Research Scientist, Sonar) who will share lessons from building agentic systems used by engineering teams at scale.
The session will conclude with a candid AMA featuring special guest Stanimir Arnaudov (Chief Technology Officer, Resaro). Bring your burning questions and join the conversation on the future of agentic software development systems.
You’ll hear more about:
Reliability from the start: How teams can guide LLMs and Agents to produce functionally correct, high-quality, secure and organisation-aligned code, to minimise heavy downstream rework.
Verification as the new bottleneck: Why reviewing and validating AI-generated code is now harder than writing it, and techniques to alleviate the burden for developers
Automated remediation: How agentic systems detect and remediate issues autonomously, drawing on AutoCodeRover technology from NUS.
Learn what works today in agentic software development workflows, what remains difficult, and where human judgment is still essential.
