# Ship 10x Faster: AI-Powered Development with Claude Code and MCP Tools


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

In this session, I'll share how I used Claude Code and the Databricks AI Dev Kit to build an entire Agentic and course — something I'd been postponing for years. With AI coding assistants and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, I went from idea to shipped product faster than I ever thought possible.
This isn't about replacing developers. It's about amplifying what you can accomplish.
I'll walk you through the practical reality of AI-powered development: how to set up your environment, connect AI assistants to real infrastructure through MCP servers, and leverage skills-based knowledge to teach AI your organization's patterns and best practices.
You'll see real examples of how AI handled everything from SQL execution to pipeline creation, while I focused on architecture decisions and quality control. We'll explore the balance between speed and governance — because shipping fast means nothing if you ship broken.
Whether you're a solo developer with a side project or an enterprise team looking to accelerate delivery, you'll leave with actionable techniques to integrate AI coding assistants into your workflow.
