# About Tamas Piros

Source: https://tpiros.dev/about

Hi, I'm Tamas.

I've spent 25+ years across software engineering, developer relations, and technical training, working across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas. Most recently I led regional developer advocacy at a cloud media platform, running AI workshops and enablement programmes for engineering teams across the region. Before that I was a principal technical instructor teaching NoSQL databases to enterprise teams, led developer advocacy at an open-source AI-workflow platform, and built a training business that reached tens of thousands of developers.

I've given 68 talks and 70 workshops across 33 countries since 2014, on web performance and developer education for most of that time, and on AI, agents, agent harnesses and MCP more recently. I'm a Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies and an ambassador for the Agentic AI Foundation. I hold an MBA and a BSc in Software Engineering.

Currently running two half-day sessions: The Power User Gap, for organisations where AI went out and only a handful of people got anywhere with it, and the Agent Workshop, for engineering teams building agents.

## Why AI fluency

A new technology arrives, everyone gets excited, vendors make promises, organisations buy tools — and nothing changes, because nobody learned how to use them. AI differs in one way that matters: it moves fast enough that the gap between the teams building with it and everyone else widens by the month.
