DnD Day is an offline event exploring how AI, Big Data, Data Science, BI and engineering approaches are transforming the way we work with data. SoftServe experts will discuss self-service BI, semantic layers, time series forecasting, foundation models, AI-generated code, and agentic approaches to development.

Panel discussion
Vibe Coding: Benefits, drawbacks and a reality check
Speakers: Olha Nazarenko, D&A Technical Architect Iryna Kovalchuk, Technology Consulting Director Markel Tuzynskyi, Agentic Engineering Architect Mykola Slobodian, Senior Product Manager (moderator)
On how AI-generated code is changing development: where it speeds up work and opens new opportunities, and where it introduces risk. Speakers will share their experience and practical perspectives.
Case study: Big Data & Analytics
Modern Self-Service BI: Dashboards aren’t enough
Speaker: Taras Ozarkiv, Data & Analytics Solutions Architect
On building trust in metrics, providing clear context, and reaching decisions faster. The focus is on AI-powered analytics, semantic layers, natural language data queries, and lessons learned from real projects.
Case study: Data Science
Evaluation as a core architectural element: scalable LLM solutions for document analysis on Databricks
Speaker: Svitlana Dubinina, Senior Data Scientist
On making LLM-based document analysis solutions scalable, cost-effective and production-ready. The focus is on Databricks, optimising model running costs, an evaluation framework, and model reliability metrics.
Big Data & Analytics Workshop
Building a semantic model with Power BI and Claude Code
Volodymyr Solohub, Senior DW/BI Software Engineer Olha Nazarenko, D&A Technical Architect
A hands-on workshop on building a Power BI semantic model using Claude Code via MCP.
Data Science Workshop
How can agentic AI and computer vision work together?
Solomiia Lenio, Data Scientist
This session will look at whether there’s still room for computer vision-based solutions in a market dominated by large language models, examine the latest advances in multimodal models, and discuss how they can be applied to video processing tasks.
