AWS certs make you an AWS practitioner. Azure certs make you a Microsoft practitioner. But the technology reshaping every cloud platform, AI, now has a certification that travels with you everywhere. In this talk, Gabriel Velazquez shares why he left a global role at AWS to bet his career on Anthropic's Claude ecosystem, why Claude being the only frontier AI model available across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud changes the certification calculus for cloud practitioners, and what he learned earning the Claude Certified Architect credential. Whether you're choosing your first certification or your next one, this session offers a framework for thinking about where to invest when the industry is moving faster than any single vendor's roadmap.", }, { - speakername: 'Ahmad Awais', - image: '/images/speakers/Ahmad-trans.png', - linkedin: 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/MrAhmadAwais/', + speakername: "Ahmad Awais", + image: "/images/speakers/Ahmad-trans.png", + linkedin: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/MrAhmadAwais/", hidden: true, - bio: 'Ahmad Awais is an award-winning open-source engineering leader, founder & CEO of Command Code (frontier coding agent with taste) f/k/a Langbase (Serverless AI Developer Platform powering 350K+ AI agents).

Mine writes code like me. Every developer has a coding agent now. What if your coding agent actually had taste? What if it understood not just what you're building, but how you like to build it? Your weird naming conventions. Your obsession with early returns. That thing you do where you always extract utilities before they get messy. Your coding taste. I've been building coding agents since Greg Brockman gave me GPT-3 access in 2020. Started as a CLI tool I used every day. Five years later, we've deployed over 350K agents through Langbase, and I've learned something crucial: the best agents don't just write code, they develop taste. In this talk, I'll share what we've learned about building agents that actually feel like they know you. We'll dive into the architecture patterns that make this possible: contextual memory systems, preference learning loops, and what I call \"engineering intuition\" going way beyond the typical \"agents.md\" approach. It's about building agents that evolve with you, remember your decisions, and start making choices that feel like your own. By the end, you'll understand how to build coding agents that can develop taste.
