10:35 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML Choosing Your AI Copilot: Maximizing Developer Productivity Sepehr Khosravi Machine Learning Platform Engineer @Coinbase, Award Winning Instructor @UC Berkeley - Gen-AI Bootcamp, Founder @AI Squads The AI coding agent landscape evolves weekly. This talk compares today’s frontrunners, shows where each shines, and shares prompts, policies, and “rules templates” that turn code suggestions into production-quality output. 11:45 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML Accelerating LLM-Driven Developer Productivity at Zoox Amit Navindgi Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience @ Zoox, Leading Applied AI Initiatives Over the past year, Zoox has invested in integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into the entire developer lifecycle through a companywide initiative called Zoox Intelligence (ZI). 13:35 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML Powering the Future: Building Your GenAI Infrastructure Stack Merrin Kurian Distinguished Engineer @Intuit Behind every productivity leap is a rock-solid platform. Go under the hood with Intuit’s GenOS team to see how vector stores, prompt management, RAG pipelines, and agent orchestration come together to serve ~100 million users. 14:45 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML AI-Driven Productivity: From Idea to Impact Jyothi Nookula Product Leader Director with 13+ Years Driving AI Product & Platform Innovation, Previously @Meta, @Amazon, and @Etsy In this session you'll learn how product leaders turn GenAI enthusiasm into an enterprise-ready blueprint for real productivity gains. 15:55 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML Trustworthy Productivity: Securing AI-Accelerated Development Sriram Madapusi Vasudevan Senior Software Engineer @AWS Agentic AI, Previously Core Team @AWS SAM, AWS Cloudwatch, Core Developer @Openstack Autonomous agents operate in a continuous loop: perceive context → reason → execute tools → observe. Each edge creates distinct attack surfaces. This talk maps vulnerabilities—memory poisoning in context ingestion, goal hijacking during reasoning, blind execution at the action stage.QCon San Francisco 2025 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
