Speaker
The lecture will be delivered by Bartosz Fijałkowski, Head of .NET Development Poland at GFT. He is an experienced software development expert specialising in projects implemented in business environments, particularly the modernisation and transformation of existing IT systems.
In his work, Bartosz Fijałkowski combines technological knowledge with a practical approach to problem-solving, focusing on team effectiveness, software quality and the use of modern tools – including artificial intelligence – in the system development process.

The event description:
During the event, participants will have an opportunity to see how the work of programmers is changing in practice and how modern approaches – including the use of artificial intelligence – can significantly shorten the implementation time of complex projects.
Until recently, rebuilding a complex IT system could take months or even years. Today, thanks to appropriate methods and AI support, it is possible to deliver a fully functional production solution in just a few weeks.
The lecture will present a real-world example of rebuilding an existing system – a previously developed solution that could not be abandoned and created from scratch.
The topics:
- approaches to working with an unknown and complex system,
- the role of data and API contracts as a source of system knowledge,
- the assumptions and importance of spec-driven development,
- the process of recreating a system in a new technology stack,
- the importance of testing and architecture in regaining project control.
Who is it for?
The event is intended primarily for students who already have experience developing applications from scratch and want to see what it's like to work with existing, often critical, systems in real-world business environments.
The lecture will provide an opportunity to gain a practical perspective on software development – where technological decisions directly impact workflow, system quality and opportunities for further development.
We encourage everyone interested in modern approaches to software development and the role of artificial intelligence in this transformation.
