The Developer's Role in the Age of AI

Il ruolo dello sviluppatore nell'era dell'AI

GDG Brescia · CSMT Innovation Hub, Brescia · with Nicola Luna

In 2021 you wrote code line by line; in 2026 you write the spec and direct the agents that execute it — while staying in command. The talk derives, live, the developer's shift from executor to director: from autocomplete to autonomy, the verifiable spec, and loop engineering. A real recorded demo shows why "done" is a claim, not a proof — and it closes with an AI-native developer's first-hand account. No hype: this is already the present.

Agentic AI: Stop prompting, start building agents

POTA! L'Agentic AI: Stop prompting, start building agents

GDG Brescia · Blue Tech Hub, Brescia · with Nicola Luna

Delivered as the launch talk for the GDG Brescia community, Matteo Gazzurelli and Nicola Luna introduced the core concepts of agentic AI: the difference between a model and an agent, the anatomy of an agent (LLM, tools, memory, loop), and how RAG compares to agentic systems. The centerpiece was a live demo of a multi-agent system built with Google ADK and the A2A protocol — a "Bid Analysis Agent" that automates public tender analysis — with a strong focus on two-layer Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) guardrails (instruction-based and code-enforced) and on agent evaluation via unit tests and LLM-as-judge behavioral evals. The talk closed with a tour of real-world agentic AI use cases.

How to design an efficient REST client on Android with a persistent cache — HTTP/2, Retrofit, OkHttp and Realm over an App Engine backend — to cut network traffic and keep the app responsive.

Experimenting monitoring & proximity techniques with Android and iBeacon

droidcon Italy · Turin, Italy

Using iBeacon for indoor proximity on Android: building an indoor-location app that delivers content based on the user's distance from beacons — with the practical challenges of indoor accuracy and battery consumption.

Introduction to Android

GDG DevFest Lombardia · Milan, Italy

An introduction to Android for developers new to the platform: the architecture, the core components (activities, services, broadcast receivers, content providers), project structure and the early Android tooling.

Db_check: a tool for checking specification requirements of a complex database infrastructure
