For over 10 years, I worked as an Android developer.
I liked what I was doing — but somewhere along the way, routine replaced excitement.
I had little influence over products. I was building features, but not building something that felt truly mine.

Then ChatGPT appeared.

It didn’t start with a startup idea.
It started with coloring pages for my kids.
Then internal projects for interns.
Then automating small, boring tasks.

And step by step, AI stopped being a tool — and became my junior developer.

In this 45-minute storytelling session, I’ll share how experimenting with generative AI reignited my motivation, helped me move from passive feature delivery to product ownership, and eventually led to building and launching a real SaaS product (Planner Mag), powered by Claude, now used by real customers.

This is not a deep technical talk.
It’s a story about momentum, leverage, and how AI can give experienced developers their spark back — not by replacing them, but by amplifying them.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in routine — this talk is for you.
