With over 29 years of experience in software development across government and commercial sectors, I've designed and implemented enterprise-class distributed systems and led software development teams in both startups and mature organizations. I run the YouTube channel and Skool.com community Coding the Future With AI, where I teach developers how to harness AI across the entire software development lifecycle. In addition to consulting with teams, I build open-source tools to help developers and organizations integrate AI into their workflows effectively.

Managing Context in AI Coding Assistants: Achieve Better Results with Fewer Hallucinations
This talk demonstrates how developers can get the most out of AI coding assistants by effectively managing the context they provide. Through practical examples with three popular assistants—Aider, Cursor, and Windsurf—I’ll show how to configure global and local context, manage it in real-time, and overcome common limitations. Attendees will also learn how to extend the assistants’ capabilities with a centralized knowledge service to maximize their productivity and accelerate software delivery.
