Bernardin Katic

After exciting and fun professional beginnings in the development of computer games in assembler, a diploma in the field of real-time operating systems and the challenging development of expert systems, in recent years he devoted himself to the much less fun, but still very challenging design and development of systems for the financial industry and their integration in enterprise environments. In a break from everyday work, he runs the local Microsoft Community. Game development has taught him that every byte and every clock of the processor is important, so his greatest pleasure is to optimize systems and use all available resources and make systems work faster, better and better. Like any true Slavonian, he is fond of skiing, and in his spare time he tries to improve his time management and spend as much time as possible with his family. Bernardin was awarded by Microsoft with the MVP - Most Valuable Professional award for Visual C#/.net/Visual Studio and Development Technologies and Artificial Intelligence

Bernardin's keynote title: Generative AI Best Practices

Description: What is Generative AI? Generative AI is a category of AI algorithms that creates new content based on trained data. Using deep learning, generative AI creates images, audio, and of course, natural text. The lecture will cover how to best use Generative AI in your projects.

Petra Fribert

Petra is a software engineer who has been working for the last three years on Infobip Chatbot solutions (Answers). With the advent of AI in the industry, she took the plunge and started working closely with generative AI. It was a bit accidental but proved to be a new passion of hers. Beyond the realm of coding, Petra finds joy in the frustrating art of crochet, the escape of a good book, and the exhilaration of rollerblading.

Petra's keynote title: Demystifying LLMs - how they work and how to make them work better

Sven Suk

Sven is a dedicated software engineer at Infobip who thrives on crafting clean code. When he's not coding, he enjoys running and biking.

Sven's keynote title: Bundle Size Matters

Description: This presentation aims to emphasize the importance of optimizing bundle size and to illustrate it through examples.
