In the Loop 010: From Bits to Atoms
In The Loop 010
In The Loop is an event series for engineers and builders pushing on what's possible with agentic coding. We share a constant curiosity about what these tools can do, and what they'll do next. If you're looking for a tribe to trade field notes in a no-frills environment, you've found it.
This session we'll be joined by two builders for a group discussion on how they've integrated agentic coding into their daily work, one designing at a frontier lab, one building in hardware. Come share how you work today, explore ways to level up your own workflow, and map out what you're going to try next.
Who's presenting
Osebo Akhigbe, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic. Osebo is a designer turned builder. He spent a decade shaping products at Nike, Oculus VR, and Tumblr, then spent three years on the founding team at Castle, and now builds at Anthropic. He'll show how his workflow building products has changed with AI tools and how he gets to a refined version in his process.
Cyril Engmann, Partner and Engineer at The Garage. Cyril is a hardware and embedded systems engineer based in Brooklyn, where he runs The Garage, a boutique shop specializing in early-stage product development for hardware startups. His work spans custom PCB design, firmware, cybersecurity, and Linux platform engineering. He'll show what happens when you point agentic coding tools at the physical world, what they can actually get built, and where they run into the parts that don't compile.
About Your Hosts
Abrey Mann, Software Engineer in AI at Ode with Anthropic, which brings frontier AI into practice at medium through enterprise-sized businesses. Before that, he was a founding engineer across a series of NYC startups. Having built at both ends — scrappy startups and enterprise AI deployments — he's excited to help grow NYC's agentic coding community from the ground up.
Kevin Huynh, an ops leader building apps. Previously, he was VP of Operations at Substack and wrote Get Together for Stripe Press—a book on how to build a community with your people. Today, he splits time between launching an iOS app studio for habit tracking games and creating respectful chaos with his toddler in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
What We'll Cover
The presenters will walk through how they've actually integrated agentic coding into their daily work, not a scripted demo, but a real conversation about what's working, what isn't, and where they're still figuring things out. Expect a group discussion format: plenty of room to ask questions, trade notes, and dig into the details that matter to your own workflow, alongside a room full of other builders working with these same tools.
Schedule

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already knee-deep in Claude/Cursor/Copilot, come learn alongside other builders navigating this shift together. You'll leave with practical skills, new perspectives, and connections with people facing similar challenges.
This is one of a recurring series of technical workshops. As the landscape continues to evolve rapidly, we'll keep convening to learn together and stay ahead of what's next.
Presented by Scout. Scout is a career copilot that creates the connections, community, and knowledge to accelerate your startup career.
