Full Lifecycle AI Software Teams Meetup
Summary
This month is about making AI reliable enough to trust in real engineering work. Daniel Ochoa demos closedloop-intel, which gives engineers and their agents the full org context they're usually missing: what breaks if you change something, what shipped last week, and who's already building it. Ian Johnson follows with how to make AI output reliable and governable using deterministic gates. Two sides of the same problem: giving AI the context and the guardrails to be dependable, not just fast.
Speakers
First up is Daniel Ochoa, one of our engineers here at ClosedLoop. He's been building closedloop-intel, and he's going to show how it gives engineers and their agents the org context they're usually missing, what breaks if you change something, what shipped, and who's already building it.
Next up is Ian Johnson. Ian runs Fulcorum, where he teaches engineers how to get reliable results from their AI agents, and he's got a deep engineering background: staff and senior roles at Parento, Cerbo, and CoverMyMeds, with a lot of time in testing, TDD, and deployment automation. Tonight he's talking about making AI output reliable and governable through deterministic gates.
We meet every 4th Tuesday of the month from 6:30 PM to 8:30PM at STATION Austin.
