Agenda (all sessions will be held in Hebrew):
18:00 - Meet & Mingle
18:30 - Opening words
18:35 - AI-Powered Workflows for Design System–Driven UI Development - Dor Damry, Senior Frontend Tech Lead @ Fiverr
This session will cover how we use AI-driven agents and MCP server to serve our design system as a source of truth for UI development. We’ll show how Figma MCP and our internal MCP enable code generation directly from Figma designs, with developers guiding AI to ensure accuracy and maintainability. A key part of this journey was strengthening collaboration with our design team, aligning on patterns and standards to make the automation possible. The focus is on practical workflows that speed up delivery while keeping codebases consistent, modular, and future-proof.
Dor Damry is a Senior Tech Lead at Fiverr, where he led the development of Fiverr’s design system and helped integrate it deeply into the platform. He also spearheaded the integration of Builder.io, a no-code CMS solution that enables non-developer-like marketing and content teams to build landing pages that look and feel like native Fiverr experiences.
Dor is a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving real problems and making tools that others can build on. He lives in Ramat Gan with his partner and two kids, and when he’s not writing code, he’s probably at the beach recharging without a screen. At the meetup, Dor will talk about AI-powered workflows for Design System–driven UI development, sharing how Fiverr is exploring ways to speed up and simplify front-end development by combining AI tools with robust design infrastructure.
19:05 - The Importance of the Semicolon ;) Or, why reading is important to in order to write quality code - Stas Begelman, Software Developer @ TITAN
JavaScript is famously forgiving — until it isn't. In this talk, we'll start with a semicolon (yes, really) and dive into the real-world impact of understanding JavaScript fundamentals like scoping, closures, and async behavior. We'll explore how these concepts directly affect React code: from unexpected bugs in useEffect and async event handlers, to stale closures inside intervals, and dependency arrays that lie to you. By learning to read between the lines of your own code, you'll write components that are cleaner, safer, and easier to debug — both for you and your future teammates.
Stas Begelman is a Senior Full-Stack developer at TITAN, where he combines his passion for coding with a knack for transforming complex challenges into elegant, practical solutions. He is driven by curiosity about how things work and a passion for problem-solving.
Before joining TITAN, he played a key role in building the widely used transit app at Moovit.
19:35 - Break
19:50 - "Breaking Bad (Abstractions): React Edition"
Cooking up React internals from pure JavaScript - Nir Kaufman, Tech Lead @ Tikal
Think React's advanced features are untouchable black magic? Think again. We're going full Walter White on React's secret
recipes - cooking up one of its most "impossible" features from scratch in under 100 lines of pure JavaScript.
No libraries, no bullshit. Watch years of abstraction layers melt away to reveal the shockingly
simple patterns underneath. 100% live coding. 95% I'll mess up...
