Actions
I’m Harshil Siyani, a AI/software developer originally from Kenya. After moving to Melbourne for my studies, I now live in Canberra, Australia. I’ve gained expertise in both rapid prototyping and MVP development from my time at an Cisco Innovation Center, as well as working with large datasets and enterprise-level applications at my role at Industry Capability Network. I’m passionate about integrating technology with real-world challenges, especially in AI, cloud solutions, and sustainability. My diverse background and innovative approach help me bring unique perspectives to the software development community.
Currently working at the Parliament in the Press Gallery with NewsCorp, where I work for the Editorial Innovation Department as an AI Developer. In this role, I build proofs-of-concept and drive AI research and development, focusing on how emerging technologies can enhance news and media operations. This role perfectly complements my background and fuels my drive to solve practical challenges with advanced technology.

Topics
Concept to Deploy in Minutes: Building ideas with AI + Gemini CLI
No coding required, let AI do the heavy lifting. This hands-on live workshop lets non-technical attendees transform their own ideas into working web apps while giving developers a front-row look at the future of AI-augmented software engineering. We’ll crowd-source an app concept, spin up a polished landing page, push straight to GitHub, invoke Gemini CLI on stage to generate a fully functional feature, open a pull request, and watch the CI/CD pipeline auto-deploy the update so everyone can refresh the production URL moments later, all without typing a single line of code.
Google Gemini Competition: Case Study
In this session, I’ll share my experience building an AI-powered environmental app for the Google Gemini Competition. Leveraging my background as a software developer and my previous role at La Trobe Innovation Center, I rapidly prototyped and deployed the app using free tools like GitHub Codespaces, Supabase, and Heroku—all within a few hours. This session is tailored for beginner to mid-level developers, offering practical insights into using AI and agile techniques to quickly create and deploy effective MVPs
