In this practical one-hour session, we show how teams can use AI coding tools without creating review debt, messy codebases, or unclear ownership.

Participants will learn:

- Why AI makes software fundamentals more important, not less.

- How to move from “prompting” to a reliable engineering workflow.

- What work to delegate to AI, and what judgment must stay human.

- How to keep AI-generated changes small, reviewable, and testable.

- Why shared team instructions, clear domain language, and verification loops matter.

- How leaders can govern AI coding without slowing teams down.

The core message: AI makes code easier to produce. The real skill is making software easier to trust.

About the instructors:

Vasilis Tsolis

Vasilis Tsolis works at the intersection of document intelligence, agentic coding, and practical AI adoption. He is Partner at Cognitiv+, an AI consultancy and software factory that helps organisations implement and adopt AI with confidence, from vendor selection and adoption to custom systems and governed workflows.

He is an official Ambassador for Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and n8n, and trains development teams across the US and Europe in AI-assisted coding with a strong focus on integrating these tools into real workflows without losing control of the codebase.

With a background in both engineering and law, Vasilis brings more than 20 years of experience across AI, energy, construction, and technology. He has worked with companies including JPMorgan, Intel, and PwC, and is based in Athens.

Rogier Muller

Rogier Muller is CTO of BlueMonks Group, an Amsterdam-based fintech compliance company, and co-founder of cursorworkshop.com, claudeworkshop.com, and codexworkshop.com.

A lifelong coder, Rogier moved early into AI-assisted software development and is today an official ambassador across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Through these roles, he works closely with engineering teams, founders, and AI tooling companies on the practical adoption of agentic software development.

His core expertise lies in applying agentic engineering in highly regulated environments such as fintech and financial services, with a focus on compliance, auditability, data isolation, and controlled software delivery. His workshops are hands-on, repo-based, and designed around real engineering work and team practices.
