Spec-driven development
A written spec that comes before the implementation and stays binding. With it, an agent's output becomes reproducible.
Developer productivity
Where AI helps in day-to-day work and where it does not, based on the METR and DORA studies and what they measure.
Test automation
Playwright and end-to-end tests as the quality gate that stands before an agent gets near the codebase.

Long bio
Daniel Sogl is Director of AI Engineering at SHI GmbH, where he leads the AI Engineering & Developer Productivity practice. He helps development teams adopt AI tools in a way that holds up in production.
Before SHI he was Principal Consultant for Generative AI at Thinktecture AG, and before that Lead Software Developer at finanzen.net zero and a developer at Wipro Technologies. He has been building software since 2015, focusing on enterprise web applications (Angular, React, .NET), test automation and CI/CD.
Daniel is a Microsoft MVP for Web Development & Developer Tools, has been speaking since 2024 with more than 50 talks in over ten countries, and works as a technical editor for Manning. His argument: AI does not make teams uniformly faster, it amplifies what is already there. Teams with solid quality gates get better, teams without them get worse faster. That is why his projects start with a baseline and not with a tool selection.
Profile bio
Daniel Sogl is Director of AI Engineering at SHI GmbH. With a background in FinTech and IT consulting, he helps internal teams and enterprise clients put AI to work in two areas: AI-assisted software engineering and Generative AI. He speaks regularly at international conferences and workshops on what AI tools change in software delivery and how teams measure it before and after the rollout.
