AI is rewriting the rules of software development. Joel Garcia believes that if your devs aren’t using AI, they may not be devs for much longer.
In this episode of Pitch, Build, Scale, host Chris Fanchi sits down with Joel Garcia, CEO of Allcode, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner helping startups and SMBs modernize, migrate, and scale in the cloud.
Joel shares how AI is transforming development speed, the future of cloud automation, and why success now depends as much on adaptability as it does on code. From refactoring technical debt to closing enterprise deals, Joel explains how to build a company that moves faster and smarter in the era of intelligent automation.
If you lead a dev team or SaaS company, this is a must-listen on how to stay competitive as AI reshapes the industry.
