2026-06-25 AI WORKSHOP: From prompt to multi-agent system

By: Sasa Boros, Bakson Team

From a simple prompt to an autonomous multi-agent ecosystem—take a look inside our internal AI Tech Talk! In this video, we share the highlights of a workshop that has been taken by 32 of our engineers during two months of after-work sessions. We refused to stop at theory, so we built a fully functional application that simulates an entire company through specialized AI agents (CFO, CTO, HR, Sales).

The video captures our entire journey: from creating our first agents on the OpenAI platform and integrating them into a Next/NestJS stack, to orchestrating them using the Google ADK framework. Beyond the impressive results, we openly discuss real-world production challenges, such as managing API rate limits, implementing reliable fallback mechanisms, and securely handling MCP integrations. Our goal is clear: to empower a team that doesn't just consume AI, but engineers production-ready, intelligent solutions for our clients from the ground up.

Check out the presentation, catch the team's energy, and take a peek under the hood of our new AI system!

2026-06-04 Controlling a web browser using an eye-tracking device

By: Vukasin Bogdanovic, OrcaBio Team

Our colleague, Vukašin Bogdanović, will be presenting a Chromium extension that allows users to control a web browser entirely through eye tracking. Designed primarily to provide seamless access for individuals with physical disabilities, the system uses specialized hardware to automatically scan web pages and detect interactive elements. It completely replaces the traditional mouse and keyboard, relying solely on gaze direction and fixation (dwelling) for navigation, selection, and text input. Following the presentation, everyone in attendance will have the opportunity for a hands-on demonstration to test the software and hardware themselves, experiencing a completely new way of interacting with a computer.

2025-07-24 Transition from an Engineer to a Team Lead

By: Miroslav Lazović, guest lecturer from Easygo Tech EU

In this engaging session, Miroslav Lazović, Bakson alumnus and now a successful Principal Engineer, shares his journey from software engineer to team lead, a transition that began during his time at Bakson. Drawing from real-world experience, Miroslav sheds light on the evolving role of an engineering manager and the importance of maintaining an engineering mindset even when hands-on coding becomes less frequent. He covers key topics such as project scoping, system design, leveraging your professional network, and adopting a senior-level perspective essential for leadership in tech.

2025-02-27 GraalVM: Going Native with Java

By: Andrej Batarilo, RepRisk Team

GraalVM is an innovative technology that extends beyond Java, enabling seamless interoperability between multiple languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, and more. Its polyglot capabilities allow developers to run and optimize code across different ecosystems, opening up new possibilities for modern applications. In this presentation, we’ll explore how GraalVM achieves this and where it can be most effectively applied.

Another key feature of GraalVM is its ability to compile Java applications into native binaries, significantly improving startup times and overall performance. We’ll examine how this works, real-world use cases, and the trade-offs involved. Additionally, we’ll touch on GraalVM’s Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, which enhances Java performance with minimal configuration.

If you’re looking to push the boundaries of both language interoperability and Java performance, GraalVM might just be the answer. (Yes, Java and performance in the same sentence.)
