Above the fold:
For Engineers, Tech Leads, and DevOps who have moved past AI autocomplete and are now building agents, custom integrations and automated workflows into their daily software engineering work.

Led by James Bayly, Queenstown-based AI product engineer, consultant, and technical founder. Meetup 1 kicks off an exclusive series designed for technical practitioners who want to improve their software engineering delivery processes.

In this first session, we dive deep into Spec, Design & Early Verification. Rather than a traditional lecture, this interactive workshop is built for peers to discuss and demonstrate how they handle the earliest phases of the engineering lifecycle using AI:

Requirements & Contract Engineering
Early Architectural Validation & Threat Modeling:
Text-to-diagram tools to keep PRDs synchronized with code.
Frontend, UX & Design System Verification for the product team
Sales & GTM Demo Sandboxes
Context Management

Hosted in a collaborative group of just 12 participants in the Mountain Club board room at Five Mile, join us to share how you apply AI in the real world for AI-native engineering.
