About the Event
Most Codex sessions show you features: how to generate code, fix a bug, write tests, or use an agent. We are going to do something different. In this masterclass, we will start with a product idea and build it live, working through requirements, decisions, architecture, implementation, testing, debugging, and everything else that inevitably happens when software meets reality.
The objective is not to learn a collection of Codex tricks. It is to explore a much bigger question: what does software development look like when writing code is no longer the bottleneck? You will see where Codex can take ownership, where human judgment still matters enormously, and how the two work together across the full software development process.
You will also see how one person can increasingly operate across responsibilities that traditionally required an entire software team. Come with questions, and perhaps a little healthy skepticism.

What You'll Learn
How to take a product idea from an ambiguous starting point to clear requirements and an executable build plan
How Codex can contribute across architecture, implementation, testing, debugging, and iteration rather than only generating isolated pieces of code
Where AI agents can take meaningful ownership and where product judgment, technical tradeoffs, context, and human decision-making still matter most
How software development changes when one person can work across responsibilities that traditionally sat with product, engineering, QA, and delivery teams
Meet the Speakers
Amit Verma
Founder, Xaltris Technologies • Fractional CTO & Hands-on Product Engineer
• Founder of Xaltris Technologies, where he works as a fractional CTO and hands-on product engineer for early-stage companies
• Engineer from NIT Warangal with an MBA from IIM Calcutta
• Over two decades in software engineering, product development, and technology leadership
• Focused on how much one experienced engineer can deliver when working with AI coding agents like Codex
• Applies AI coding agents across the full lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through testing, debugging, and deployment, to help startups ship complete products with teams a fraction of the size they'd once have needed
Who Should Attend
Software engineers and developers who already use AI coding tools and want to understand how agents fit into an end-to-end build
Technical product managers, founders, and builders interested in how AI changes the boundaries between product and engineering work
Students and early-career technologists who want a realistic view of how AI-assisted software development works beyond simple code generation
Anyone curious about what human expertise becomes most valuable when writing code itself is no longer the primary bottleneck
What You Take Away
A practical mental model for using Codex across the full journey from product idea to working software
A clearer understanding of what to delegate to an AI coding agent and where human judgment should remain in the loop
A firsthand view of how requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, and debugging come together in a real live build
