ACS Branch Forum: Vibe Coding – Let’s Do It Right
Join us for an insightful session exploring the fast-evolving world of agentic software development and AI-assisted coding, with a deep dive into the practice of vibe coding. These emerging trends are transforming how applications are designed and built—making development faster and more accessible, even for those with limited coding experience.
As these tools and methods become increasingly mainstream, they also challenge traditional enterprise software development practices, raising critical questions around security, compliance, quality, accountability, and team readiness.
We’re excited to welcome Sam Fernando, Head of Advice Solutions at Opex Consulting, as our guest speaker. With over 20 years of experience leading enterprise technology strategy and transformation, Sam brings a wealth of knowledge across software architecture, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, software engineering, data platforms, and AI, along with deep insight into emerging development paradigms.
In this session, Sam will cover:
- Emerging trends in AI-driven development and vibe coding
- Where vibe coding aligns and where it clashes with established enterprise delivery practices
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) considerations and alignment with cybersecurity best practices
- How to set up an effective and secure AI-powered toolchain
- DevSecOps strategies to ensure compliance and security aren't compromised
- Tips and traps for integrating AI coding into modern workflows
Whether you're a developer, engineering lead, or tech executive, this presentation will help you understand how to adopt vibe coding responsibly, harness its potential, and make it a sustainable and secure part of your software delivery pipeline.
