​ Three production applications. Thirty days. Zero lines of code written by me.

One is a full music library platform wired to eleven external APIs — with a Jarvis-style voice HUD, a karaoke mode, and an AI assistant that knows which song you’re looking at and writes to your live database by voice command.

One is a global event management platform for SAP Developer Advocates: 74,000 lines, 992 commits, 12 days.

One automates the entire production pipeline for a weekly YouTube news show — from URL paste to stitched video, AI-generated script to published episode.

I’m a 27-year SAP veteran. I’d never written a line of SAPUI5. I didn’t believe any of this was possible six months ago.
This session is the honest story of what changed — not the hype version, but the version that includes the bugs, the wrong turns, and the moment I stopped thinking of myself as the person who writes the code and started thinking of myself as the person who decides what gets built. That shift — from developer to director — is the thing nobody warned me about. It’s also the most important thing that happened to my career in 27 years.

We’ll look at real code, real running apps, and the real numbers: what it cost, how long it took, what I could and couldn’t do. If you’re skeptical, good — I was too. Come see what changed my mind.
