See you at CATTIA!

🤔 AI is changing how we work, learn, and collaborate. New opportunities are emerging, but so are new questions: How do we adapt? What should we change? And how do we decide what comes next?

Join Simona Bonghez and Dan Suciu from Colors in Projects for an interactive workshop where learning happens through play, teamwork, and shared experiences.

💭 The games will take us through clarifying where change can actually start from, setting short-term goals, identifying our strengths and understanding that we don’t always have control on how things work out in the end.

You'll work in teams, take on fun challenges, exchange ideas, and explore how different perspectives can help us navigate change, make better decisions, and discover new opportunities.

No long presentations, just interactive activities, teamwork, meaningful conversations, and plenty of fun! 😊

Come ready to play, connect, and get involved. Sitting on the sidelines? Not an option! 😅

Women in Tech Cluj started in 2018, and ever since, we've been hosting monthly meetups. Our mission is to learn, support each other, and grow together. We aim to enhance the visibility of technical women and empower them to stand up and have a voice. Despite our name, everyone is welcome to join us! ✨

Join us on November 12, at 6:30 PM, at Lenovo in Bucharest, for our next RO AI Alliance event, where two entrepreneurs will share how they've built their own agentic organisations, with dozens of AI agents working together on real business tasks.

Corina and Radu are not developers. Even so, each of them has built an agentic organisation: dozens of AI agents working every day on market analysis, marketing, sales, legal, and HR, and the two organisations also work with each other, with a human approving at the end. They show concretely what this looks like, what works and what doesn't, what the freedom to experiment as a founder means outside a large organisation, and what changes for a person when their team is made of agents.

Meet our speakers
Radu Voinescu is Managing Partner at Sol Associates and co-founder of Kosmosis Energy, with nearly 20 years of experience in renewable energy. He has built an agentic organisation supporting market analysis, publishing and sales.
Corina Ghiațău is the founder of Inner Hero, an executive coach and psychotherapist with 20 years of experience in leadership, HR and organisational development. She has built her own agentic organisation, which regularly collaborates with Radu's AI team.

Neither comes from a programming background, and that's precisely what makes their experience interesting. We'll wrap up with an open Q&A and discussion, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, challenge ideas, and explore what agentic AI could mean for your own work.
See you soon!

🕡 6:30 PM
📍 Lenovo, Bucharest

In the spooky month, we have two ghostbusters of the Java Ecosystem: Adam Bien (maybe the one who coined the zero-dependency idea in the Java ecosystem) and Steve Poole, who was promoting supply chain security practices even before most of you were born.

The event logistics and catering are provided by BMW Tech Works Romania.

17.30-18.00 Guest reception

18.00 - 18.45: From Ticket to Test: Use Case Driven Development, Revisited with Agents and Java (Adam Bien)

Because large language models are already well trained on Java code and platform specifications, writing code is no longer the hard part when the agent is guided by a few focused skills. The bottleneck now is expressing business intent precisely enough to get it right in one shot. This session revisits use case-driven development with coding agents. A ticket becomes a well-defined use case, the use case becomes a testable spec, and the agent implements the Java application until the spec-derived acceptance tests pass. Domain experts and analysts capture the intent and acceptance criteria, developers own the conventions, and the session shows what makes a use case complete enough for an agent to implement without clarification loops. Questions are welcome throughout.

18.45 - 19:30: You Don't Know What You Shipped: The State of the Modern Software Supply Chain (Steve Poole)

Software supply chain security is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Cyber attacks are growing in scale and sophistication, AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, and legislation such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is placing new obligations on organisations to understand, secure and maintain the software they ship.

At the same time, developers are becoming increasingly disconnected from the decisions about which components enter their applications. Dependencies are selected by frameworks, build tools and AI coding agents, often with limited consideration of their security, maintenance or support lifecycles.

In this session, we'll examine the state of the modern software supply chain and the pressures challenging traditional approaches to vulnerability management. We'll explore what happens when AI discovers vulnerabilities faster than maintainers can investigate and fix them, why end-of-life open-source components create particular problems, and how the systems we rely on to identify and manage vulnerabilities are struggling to keep up.

Through practical examples, we'll investigate what developers really know about the software they're shipping, where existing tools fall short, and how better dependency selection, software supply chain visibility and enforceable controls can help organisations manage the risks.

Shipping software with known vulnerabilities is a problem. Not knowing what you've shipped is becoming a much bigger one.

Building scalable Spring applications often depends on choosing the right approach to asynchronous programming. In the past, developers relied heavily on Reactive libraries and WebFlux to handle concurrency and scalability, but do those choices still make sense today? This session takes a practical look at how asynchronous programming in Spring Boot has evolved, comparing older reactive models with modern best practices. Attendees will explore current tools and design patterns for creating efficient, responsive Spring applications, and learn when (and when not) to use reactive approaches in today’s Spring ecosystem. The talk provides a clear guide to selecting the right async strategy for your workloads while keeping code maintainable and production-ready.

19:30 - 20.00: Panel - Unpopular Opinions on AI-Native Engineering (Adam Bien, Steve Poole, Alex Diniș)

20:10 Networking

Artificial Intelligence is moving from answering questions to making decisions and taking actions, and it is being wired into the systems we depend on every day. That changes not only what those systems can do, but also how they can be attacked. At the same time, the cryptography protecting all of it is facing a deadline of its own.
Join us for an evening dedicated to AI security. We’ll look at the risks hiding inside today’s AI systems and at the quantum threat to the infrastructure underneath them.

This event brings together two experienced tech leaders who will explore both the present and the future of security in the age of AI:

• Vladimir Plotean, CTO at Klarytee, will demystify the “AI doomsday” scenario and show how AI doesn’t need to go rogue to become a cybersecurity nightmare. Through real incidents and surprising numbers, he’ll show how sensitive data gets exposed, trusted outputs get turned against us, and autonomous agents act with permissions nobody thought to question. He will also raise the harder questions: who decides what AI is allowed to do, who’s watching, and who’s accountable when things go wrong.
• Sorin Bolos, Co-Founder of Transilvania Quantum and PhD candidate at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, will explain why the RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography behind every TLS handshake, signed JWT, VPN tunnel and code-signing pipeline may not hold for long. He’ll also give a practical guide to migrating to NIST’s new post-quantum standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA).

💡 What you’ll learn:

• How AI systems are exposed, manipulated and exploited, through real incidents
• Why autonomous AI agents with broad permissions are a new kind of attack surface
• How far the damage from an AI-related incident can spread across applications and organizations
• Who decides, who watches and who is accountable when AI acts on its own
• What current estimates say about when a quantum computer could break today’s cryptography
• What regulators are already requiring, and how post-quantum migration is approached in practice

👥 Who should attend: This session is designed for professionals who build, secure or make decisions about AI and digital infrastructure, including:

• AI enthusiasts who use AI at work and want to understand the risks behind it
• Software engineers, DevOps engineers and AI practitioners
• CTOs, tech leads and decision-makers
• Security engineers and architects working on AI threats or cryptography
• Founders, researchers and consultants in AI, cybersecurity and quantum technologies

Whether you’re deploying AI agents, running infrastructure that relies on TLS and VPNs, working in regulated industries like healthtech or fintech, or simply trying to understand where security is heading, this event will give you actionable insights. You’ll leave with a clearer view of what it takes to keep systems secure today and in the post-quantum era.
At the end of the event, after the keynotes, we invite you for Networking

Welcome to the first Reframe EA. - Architecture Community Romania meetup in collaboration with RMKT/HESR Cluj.

The community opens its first chapter in Cluj, bringing together the Romanian architecture communities in business and IT. Reframe EA is an independent, vendor-neutral community where architects of all kinds share everyday challenges, experiences and ideas. Regardless of your architecture role, you are most welcome!
Key topic of this inspiring evening event is how Enterprise Architecture can be applied in business, and how is AI changing the way we practice it.
During the evening, we will combine two professional talks with open discussions and networking. The event is held in English.

TALK 1: An Actionable Approach to Enterprise Architecture by Eric Jager (Netherlands)
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ej1979/
Eric shows how Enterprise Architecture frameworks can be applied sensibly and realistically, without sticking rigidly to theory. He introduces the Enterprise Architecture Implementation Wheel, a simplified, iterative method grounded in the TOGAF® Standard that works for organisations of any size. Through a practical case study of a fictional company, he demonstrates how the approach turns strategy into measurable outcomes and supports continuous improvement. He also shows how the Wheel can be augmented by AI, with a live example of using AI to develop a small piece of architecture.
Key takeaways:

• An actionable, TOGAF® based approach focused on practical application
• The Enterprise Architecture Implementation Wheel: a practical framework for putting architecture into action
• How the Implementation Wheel can be augmented by AI, with a hands on example of AI developing architecture
• A pragmatic lens for experienced architects to reassess and strengthen existing practices

About Eric
Eric Jager is the author of Getting Started with Enterprise Architecture and Mastering the TOGAF® Standard. He is a Certified Master Architect, TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner and ArchiMate® Practitioner, with nearly 20 years of experience practicing Enterprise Architecture in organizations ranging from government agencies to healthcare institutions. He developed the Enterprise Architecture Implementation Wheel, is a guest lecturer of architecture at Eindhoven University of Technology and speaks regularly at conferences, focusing on the practical and pragmatic application of Enterprise Architecture.

• Mastering the TOGAF® Standard

TALK 2: The Evolution of AI: From Completions to Agents by Ádám Horváth (Hungary)
https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamhorvathhu/
In just a few years, AI has moved from simple text completion to chat assistants, tool use and autonomous agents that plan, act and collaborate. Ádám walks through this evolution step by step, explains what changed at each stage and why it matters, and shows what agentic AI means in practice for how organisations design systems and how architects shape them.
Key takeaways:

• How AI evolved from completions to chat, tool use and agents
• What makes an AI agent different from a model or an assistant
• Where agents fit in today's enterprise landscape
• What the shift to agentic AI means for the role of the architect

About Ádám
Ádám Horváth is Head of AI at Bdat., where he leads the company's AI initiatives and helps organisations turn AI capabilities into working solutions.

De data aceasta, comunitatea Blockchain Valley se reunește cu Cluj-Napoca AI & Web3 la Joben Bistro pentru o seară dedicată AI, Web3, blockchain, crypto și noilor tehnologii.

Este o nouă oportunitate de a aduce împreună două comunități care împărtășesc aceeași curiozitate pentru tehnologie și pentru ceea ce construim pentru viitor.

Vom vorbi despre proiecte, AI, Web3, blockchain, aplicații concrete și noile oportunități care apar la intersecția dintre aceste tehnologii.

⚡ DE CE ESTE O EDIȚIE SPECIALĂ?

În cadrul acestei întâlniri vom avea și o scurtă prezentare în avanpremieră a Orbitrum.io și a tehnologiei sale.

Orbitrum dezvoltă o platformă de inteligență pentru proiecte care combină expertiza umană, inteligența artificială și Web3, cu scopul de a structura și conecta informații, evaluări și semnale pentru proiecte, experți, builderi și investitori.

Vom descoperi, de asemenea, Atlas, tehnologia din spatele sistemului, și vom avea ocazia să discutăm despre platformă, viziunea sa și tehnologia pe care o dezvoltă.
