Budapest | Claude Meetup For Everyone
Join us for the next Claude Community Budapest Meetup.
Whether you’re already integrating Claude Code, Cowork into your daily workflow, curious about agentic coding, or simply looking to connect with others exploring AI-powered development, this event is for you.
Who Should Attend?
This meetup is open to everyone, regardless of experience level—just be curious:
Founders & Operators: Learn how to scale efficiently and move faster.
Business Professionals: Discover how to delegate repetitive tasks to AI agents.
Engineers & PMs: See firsthand how Claude can significantly reduce development cycles.
The AI-Curious: Transition from theory to practice with hands-on insights rather than just another lecture.
Agenda
05:30 PM: Doors open. Registration, Networking & Drinks
06:00 PM: Welcome Remarks
18:10 - Oresztész Margaritisz - Chief Software Engineer at Epam
Title: Harness Engineering - Principles and Practices
Bio: Oresztész is a chief software engineer and solution architect with 18 years of professional experience, spanning small start-ups to large international enterprises. He has over a decade of experience leading engineering teams on a wide range of projects, from R&D and product development to software maintenance. His recent work focuses on the frontier of Generative AI, designing agentic architectures, RAG pipelines, and text-to-SQL solutions. His broad expertise also covers solution architecture, cloud-native systems, IoT, and DevOps/SRE principles. He is a strong advocate for Agile and XP methodologies, including TDD, BDD, and Continuous Delivery.
Abstract: This talk demystifies harness engineering. The discipline of building the processes, tooling, and guardrails that let humans steer while agents execute: Bringing SRE-grade rigor to the software development lifecycle. We’ll map maturity models and spotlight patterns from Thoughtworks, OpenAI, and Stripe (e.g., blueprints, traceability, “minions”) that reduce toil, enforce architecture, and safely scale PR throughput. You’ll give hints on how to measure what matters (beyond lines of code and tokens), tame AI slop, and rethink platforms through a composable, Unix-like marketplace lens. Expect a candid look at hype vs. reality and a practical path from “vibe coding” to a disciplined, auditable, high-velocity engineering machine.
18:55 - Technical break
19:00 - Emil Shaykhilislamov - AI engineer | C++/python developer at First Line Software
Title: Spec-driven Development with Openspec
Bio: Senior AI Engineer with 11 years of software engineering experience across ship simulators development, autonomous driving and Generative AI. Specializing in designing and building end-to-end AI solutions, particularly AI agents, agentic workflows, and RAG-powered applications. Experienced in owning projects end to end, from architecture and technical decisions to implementation and production deployment. Active adopter of AI-assisted software development since 2023, leveraging AI tools across the entire SDLC. Passionate about clean code, pragmatic architecture, KISS, and SOLID principles.
Abstract: AI-assisted development doesn't have to be just prompting, planning, and hoping for the best. Spec-Driven Development (SDD) takes a more structured and thorough approach, turning software specifications into the foundation of the entire development process. This presentation introduces OpenSpec, a lightweight and flexible framework that brings this approach into everyday AI-assisted development without unnecessary overhead. Through a practical demo and a real-world workflow, we'll explore how structured specifications can help AI agents deliver higher-quality results while keeping development more cost-efficient, predictable, and maintainable. We'll also look at the trade-offs and limitations of this approach.
