Forward Deployed Engineering × A Maturidade da IA

​Forward Deployed Engineering × The Maturity of AI - MagicIsland + CryptoLar Now, 2026. You. Open IDE, polishing a pull request line by line, proud of the craft. The video edited by hand for three days. The "well-done" feature that took a week. Do you hear that noise outside? It’s not hype. It’s engine. The only good news: your hand has become obsolete, your judgment has not. The new game consumes judgment at scale: orchestrating agents over code you didn’t write, within a client you’ve never seen, owner of a problem no one mapped. This has a name: Forward Deployed Engineering. And it’s not learned in a course. It’s learned sitting close to those who already operate this way. It’s not a party. It’s not a hackathon. Three sharp talks, a roundtable with a whiteboard where the thesis gets challenged publicly and beer at the end. The door is narrow. Limited spots, mandatory approval, we read each application. “I want to understand the hype” doesn’t pass. “I build and need to build differently” sits at the table. The blacksmith of 1908 didn’t get a warning. Yours is in front of you. Register. Or go back to the anvil. What you take home: Yes, it’s Friday at 4 PM. Agenda Speakers Alexandre MeloSpent 15 years at the anvil. Systems in production, real clients, blockchain security, startups, and now Head of AI and FDE at one of the leading acquirers in Brazil, implementing agents and AI to operate in a real payment company, with legacy code, integrations, compliance, and problems that don’t fit in a benchmark. He founded CryptoLar and now enters the client’s site, opens the terminal in front of everyone, and takes responsibility for the outcome. He will share what happens when AI moves from demo to production. And ego. LinkedIn Rafael ScheidtWrote the map of The New Software Engineering with AI. Works at the frontier between engineering and AI, exploring agents, RAG, MCP, evals, and new ways to build software. He will show what can already be mapped, separate what works from what is just slides, and how these tools are changing the work of those who build software. LinkedIn Conrado de SáOperates where the map ends. Founded MegaDAO and now builds at Acolyt/DOTI agentic content infrastructure and synthetic influencers at scale. Assembles teams and products where there are no best practices to copy, transforming new problems into systems that need to work for real. He will talk about how to make decisions when no one in the room knows the answer and how to turn uncertainty into product. LinkedIn What we have done before CryptoLar was born in Florianópolis with a simple idea: to create a place where those building technology can meet others who are also truly building. Since then, we have gathered builders, founders, researchers, and developers in hackathons, technical meetings, security discussions, community experiences, and large ecosystem gatherings. We have done this in Florianópolis, São Paulo, and Rio, always with the same concern: less noise and more good conversation. At the last major gathering in Florianópolis, the people who attended the event arrived early, stayed until the end, and began asking when the next one would be before they even left. CryptoLar is this: a community that prefers to put the right people in the same room rather than living in slideland. ​Hosts https://founderhaus.club/Twitter - Founder_HausInstagram - FounderHaus FounderHaus is a physical space in Florianópolis dedicated to founders and deep-builders, where collaboration, experimentation, and practical building happen outside of hype and close to the reality of those truly embarking on technology. https://www.cryptolar.com.br/Twitter - CryptoLarBrasilInstagram - cryptolarbrasil CryptoLar is one of the largest Web3 education and event initiatives in Brazil, connecting builders, researchers, and developers through technical meetings, hackathons, and in-person experiences focused on security, real building, and community.
