The Hidden Risks of Vibe-Coding, AI-Accelerated Development & Knowing When To Scale Your Dev Team
Join a technical deep-dive webinar with Felix Navas, Director of Operations at Designli, as we explore practical strategies for building your MVP with modern development approaches. This session will cover vibe coding, AI-assisted development results at Designli, and expert guidance on when it’s best to bring in a dev shop versus building an in-house team.
Whether you’re planning your first build or looking to optimize your technical process, this webinar will give you actionable insights for making your product development faster, smarter, and more efficient.
About the Speaker:
Felix Navas is the Director of Operations at Designli, where he oversees the company’s entire delivery engine across design, engineering, and product execution. In this role, he is responsible for ensuring that the right people, processes, and quality standards are in place for teams to consistently deliver high-quality software products to founders and growing technology companies.
Felix works closely with Designli’s leadership, product teams, and engineering organization to maintain operational excellence across dozens of concurrent projects. He focuses on building strong development teams, refining internal processes, and ensuring that projects move from concept to production with clarity, discipline, and predictable outcomes. His experience spans complex product launches, technical decision-making, and scaling delivery systems that support both rapid innovation and long-term product stability.
As AI-assisted development continues to reshape how software is built, Felix also helps guide how teams responsibly adopt new tools while maintaining the engineering rigor required for secure, scalable products. His work centers on one core objective: building a delivery organization capable of turning ambitious product ideas into reliable, production-ready software.
About Designli:
If you’re a non-technical founder, chances are you’ve been burned by flaky devs, vague timelines, or code that doesn’t match the prototypes. That’s exactly why we built a model designed for trust.
At Designli, we pair non-technical software founders with full-time, founder-aligned product teams. Software engineers, designers and product owners who don’t just speak code, they speak human. We guide you through every step with clarity, structure, and care.
How it works, and what we can build:
Starting from Scratch? We turn your idea into a clickable, interactive prototype with a feature roadmap and estimates so you can align co-founders, test the market, or pitch investors before writing a single line of code. No dev required (yet).
Recovering from a Bad Build? Our team audits your codebase, cleans up what’s broken, and builds a plan for a second launch you can trust. We don't start over, we step in and make it better, fast.
Scaling What You’ve Built? We help you scale with purpose. That means feature roadmaps tied to real metrics and user insights, not gut instinct or guesswork.
Each path begins with a dedicated product team assigned full-time to your project. Whether you need a prototype, a clean codebase, or a smarter scaling strategy, we’ll guide you there with clarity, speed, and craftsmanship you’ll be proud of.
