Last Friday we hosted the DEFCON Cluj April's Meetup at our Cluj office, and the room had a great vibe from start to finish.

Ioan Criste took us through exploiting AWS S3 vector tables and AI agents, and David-Constantin Dobritoiu brought it back to earth with practical cloud defense you can actually use. Both talks were great and kept the conversations going long after.

Thank you to our speakers and to everyone who came out. This is the kind of evening that reminds us why we love being part of this community.

See you soon! 👾

See you on the 9th of April ✌️

As Head of Delivery at Victory Square Partners, where he's spent 6+ years growing from Director of Engineering, he oversees how teams ship, scale, and adapt - now in an era where AI is rewriting the playbook.

Join Vlad at begatalks.ai #2, where he'll bring a delivery leader's perspective on how AI is changing team dynamics, workflows, and what it means to lead engineering organizations through the AI-first transition.

At Victory Square Partners, we spend a lot of time with teams who are already living the “AI at work” reality, so of course we had to be part of the second edition of begatalks.ai.

This time, the spotlight is on a big question: what do AI-first teams actually look like, and how does that change the day-to-day for the people in them?

We’re extra happy that our Head of Delivery, Vlad Damian, will be on stage sharing how AI and automation are reshaping real engineering teams and delivery setups from our point of view.

Our first tech debate hit differently in Timișoara’s Muzeul Național al Banatului, up in the Galeria POD mansard space, where every question seemed to echo a bit louder.

This edition of All‑Stack Hangout premiered our refreshed format: less one‑way presentations, more theme‑driven debates where two teams go head‑to‑head and the audience jumps in with their own takes.

Swipe through the photos for a feel of the new format in action and the kind of venue we want to keep choosing for smart, opinionated tech conversations.

Thank you Alexandru Binzar, Vlad Temian, Cristian Toma, Marius Balaj and Lavinia Cioloca for leading the conversation.
