About us
Madison Women in Tech is a supportive, inclusive community of women and gender nonbinary folks working or interested in technology, from designers to programmers to recruiters to students. Through regular events and a digital newsletter, we empower and elevate women and enbys in Madison’s tech scene.

WHO CAN ATTEND OUR EVENTS?
Any woman or nonbinary person interested in or working in technology is welcome at ALL of our events. (To be extra clear, "women" includes both trans and cis women. 🏳️🌈)
Men are welcome at most of our events, but not all; occasionally, we host events that are specifically for women and nonbinary folks. In either case, we strive to make it crystal clear in the event description.
Still unsure if it's appropriate for you to attend? Feel free to shoot us an email at admin@madisonwomen.tech and double-check (we're very nice ❤️).
ACCESSIBILITY / INCLUSION
With rare exceptions, all our in-person events are hosted at accessible locations near multiple public transportation options; we also work to have gender neutral bathrooms available at every in-person event. When food is involved, we make sure to have vegan and gluten-free items available.
CHILDREN
We aren't often able to provide dedicated childcare, and some of our events might not be appropriate for children (depending on their age), but we encourage you to bring your children if it would otherwise be a barrier from you attending (or if you think they'd enjoy the event!).
CODE OF CONDUCT
Madison Women in Tech deliberately curates spaces for and by women and nonbinary folks. At in-person and virtual events where men are invited to attend, they are expected to listen, and not center themselves or their experiences.
All attendees, at both in-person and virtual events, agree to adhere to the Madison Women in Tech code of conduct.

ABOUT
AI coding assistants are powerful tools that help speed up application development, including the exploration of new ideas through rapid prototyping. However, without clear direction, these tools might take approaches that deviate from your intended architecture and standards, or worse, fail to capture the business intent.
In this talk, we'll learn how to use AI effectively by setting coding directives and clear specifications before writing code. We'll walk through a complete feature lifecycle—from business requirements to deployable code—demonstrating how Specification-Driven Development (SDD) keeps humans in control while AI speeds up delivery.Presenter
Julio Villalta, Principal Architect, nvisia
Julio spends his days helping engineering teams rethink how they build software in the age of AI. With more than a decade of experience in full-stack development and architecture, he's passionate about applying practical, real-world approaches to problems like AI-assisted development—especially specification-driven workflows that teams can adopt. When he’s not working with teams or exploring new AI practices, he’s likely researching emerging tech, trying out new recipes, or spending time with his family.Schedule
